INTRODUCTION 


As  an  introduction  to  this  volume,  permit  these  few  words  con- 
cerning its  origin.  In  July,  1896,  feeling  the  need  of  renovating  our 
church  building,  a  meeting  was  called  to  consider  the  best  means 
for  raising  the  required  funds. 

Two  means  were  decided  upon,  namely,  the  holding  of  a  lawn 
festival  and  the  circulation  of  a  subscription  paper  among  the  mem- 
bers and  friends  of  the  church.  These  were  immediately  put  into 
execution,  with  the  happy  result  that  we  were  able  to  completely 
renovate  the  interior  of  our  main  audience  room  by  the  third  Sunday 
of  the  following  March,  at  a  cost  of  about  fifteen  htindred  dollars, 
all  of  which  was  paid  for,  with  a  small  balance  besides,  which  was 
turned  to  missionary  purposes.  With  gratitude  to  God  for  His  favor 
upon  our  work,  we  felt  the  need  of  rededicating  our  renovated  build- 
ing to  His  service,  and  prepared  accordingly  a  series  of  services  to 
begin  with  Sunday,  March  21st,  and  to  continue  through  the  week 
until  and  including  the  following  Sunday.  On  the  morning  of  the 
first  Sunday  the  renovated  building  was  rededicated,  the  rededi- 
catory  sermon  being  preached  by  the  Rev.  Arthur  P.  Newman,  pas- 
tor of  the  Presbyterian  Church  of  Bridgehampton,  L.  I.  We  turned 
to  him  for  this  important  service  not  only  because  he  is  an  able  Pres- 
byter and  beloved,  but  because  he  is  a  successor  in  the  pastorate  of 
the  Bridgehampton  Church  of  the  Rev.  Dr.  Aaron  Woolworth,  who 
preached  the  first  dedicatory  sermon  when  the  present  building  was 
completed  in  181 7.  Brother  Newman's  text  was  the  same  as  Dr. 
WoO'lworth's,  namely.  Ps.  123:6,  "The  Lord  hath  done  great  things 
for  us,  whereof  we  are  glad."  It  was  an  inspiring  discourse,  and 
cheered  us  on  in  our  renewed  endeavor.  For  the  evening  service  of 
that  Sunday  we  prepared  a  historical  paper,  and  it  was  that  efifort 
which  has  led  us  on  to  the  present  result  of  this  volume.  We  found 
so  much  that  was  interesting  and  valuable  in  our  research  that  we 
were  able  but  to  touch  the  beginning  of  things  on  this  island  in  our 
first  paper.  We  continued  our  research  and  presented  another  in- 
stallment on  the  4th  of  April  following.  Again  we  resumed  our 
study.  With  increasing  delight  we  found  our  efifort  growing  both  in 
interest  and  in  proportions.  As  we  came  to  the  time  when  Shelter 
Island  was  fully  organized  into  a  town  by  the  election  of  town  offi- 
cials, and  so  met  the  names  of  the  twentv  men  who  were  the  founders 


of  our  town,  we  felt,  in  view  of  so  much  that  is  creditable  and  delight- 
ful in  the  history  of  this  place,  and  of  their  undying  connection  with 
it,  that  their  names  were  worthy  of  a  more  permanent  form  than  had 
yet  been  given  to  them.  Thus  one  thing  led  on  to  another  until  now 
behold  what  we  have  endeavored  to  do — write  a  series  of  historical 
papers  on  Shelter  Island  and  its  Presbyterian  Church,  with  genea- 
logical tables  of  most  of  the  founders  of  the  town  and  church.  We 
say  "behold"  for  the  reason  that  it  was  something  which  we  least 
intended  to  do  wiien  we  started  out  in  the  preparation  of  an  his- 
torical paper,  to  be  read  in  connection  with  the  rededication  of  our 
church.  We  feel  that  such  an  effort,  had  we  known  it  at  the  begin- 
ning, would  have  made  us  hesitate  to  the  degree  of  great  reluctance, 
if  not  to  entire  refusal.  It  is  only  through  the  uniform  kindness  which 
we  have  received  from  one  and  another  that  we  have  been  able  to 
accomplish  this.  Among  the  many  who  have  thus  cheered  us  on  and 
aided  us  greatly  are  the  following  to  whom  tliis  public  courtesy  is 
due,  namely.  Rev.  Epher  Whitaker,  D.  D.,  and  N.  Hubbard  Cleve- 
land, of  Southold,  L.  I.;  Richard  C.  Fosdick,  of  St.  Paul,  Minn.; 
Miss  Katherine  E.  Havens,  of  Stamford,  Conn.;  Mrs.  M.  S.  D.  Lavv- 
rence,  of  Ouiogue.  L.  I.;  the  IMisses  Horsfords,  of  Cambridge,  Mass.; 
Mrs.  Daniel  Hudson,  and  Byron  Griffing,  of  Shelter  Island;  Mrs. 
Sophar  Woodhull,  of  Laurel,  L.  L;  Mrs.  Stuart  Terry,  of  P' - 
conic,  L.  I.;  Miss  Elizabeth  M.  Brown,  of  New  London,  Conn.; 
Mrs.  Mabel  L.  Huntington,  of  Rome.  N.  Y.;  Mrs.  Emma  H. 
Thomson,  of  New  York  city;  William  Wallace  Tooker,  of  Sai-'. 
Harbor,  L.  I.;  Rufus  King,  of  Yonkers.  N.  Y.,  and  George  R. 
How^ell,  archivist  of  the  State  Library,  Albany,  N.  Y. 

To  them  as  well  as  to  all  who  have  in  any  way  encouraged  and 
assisted  the  author  he  extends  most  hearty  and  lasting  thanks. 

And  now  the  volume  is  to  go  forth  into  the  hands  of  the  public. 
What  is  sought  by  its  issue  is  simply  this:  to  help  fix  in  memory  and 
in  history  the  things  it  records  as  having  occurred  upon  this  beauti- 
ful island.  „  ..  .  ,,

SHELTER  ISLAND 
AND  ITS  PRESBYTERIAN  CHURCH. 


CHAPTER  I. 


"Jietnember  the  former  things  of  old." 

— Prophet  Isaiah. 

T^HESE  words  enjoin  upon  us  a  precious  duty,  the  duty  of  retro- 
•^  spection,  of  calling  up  the  past.  It  therefore  has  to  do  with 
history.  In  complying  then  with  this  charge,  "Remember  the  for- 
mer things  of  old,"  we  shall  endeavor  to  set  before  you  that  part  of 
the  past  which  bears  upon  the  history  of  this  fair  isle  of  the  sea,  and  of 
this  honored  Church  of  God.  In  other  words,  I  am  moved  to  give 
you  an  historical  paper;  the  subject  of  which  is,  "Shelter  Island 
and  its  Presbyterian  Church."  I  am  moved  to  do  this,  because  the 
occasion  of  this  mornmg,  namely,  the  rededication  of  this  renovated 
building  to  the  service  and  glory  of  God,  gives  a  fitting  opportunity 
to  do  wdiat  our  text  exhorts  us  to  do,  that  is,  take  a  glance  backward 
and  "remember  the  former  things  of  old."  For  such  an  event  em- 
phasizes the  past;  is  in  itself  a  reminder  of  former  days.  A  rededica- 
tion suggests  a  first  or  former  dedication.  It  thus  turns  the  mind 
backward,  and  the  mind  once  thus  turned,  seems  to  take  delight  in 
travelling  over  the  whole  line  of  sequence  and  antecedents.  Be- 
sides this,  as  I  remarked  in  my  opening  sentence,  the  duty  enjoined 
in  our  text  is  a  most  precious  duty,  precious  not  only  in  the  sense  of 
being  valuable,  a  truth  in  itself  sufficient  to  incite  one's  powers  to 
such  a  duty,  but  precious  in  the  sense  of  exciting  within  us  peculiar 
affections  and  encouragements ;  in  showing  us  how  vitally  the  pres- 
ent is  connected  with  the  past;  the  present  being  but  the  outgrowth 
of  the  past,  as  the  man  is  but  the  outgrowth  or  development  of  the 
boy.  By  this  study  we  shall  see,  that  the  opportunities  of  to-day 
are  the  flowers  of  the  buds  of  yesterday.  That  without  a  past  there 
could  never  have  been  a  present,  much  less  a  future,  all  of  which  is 
precious,  doubly  precious,  since  as  Dr.  McKenzie  says  in  his  intro- 
duction to  Dr.  Byington's  recent  work  on  "The  Puritan,"  "no  studv 
is  more  essential  than  that  which  makes  us  wise  in  our  past  that  we

may  be  prudent  in  our  future."  By  the  help  of  our  God,  I  want  to 
aid  you  in  catching  this  thread  of  development;  this  sequence  and 
consequence  in  the  history  of  this  beautiful  island  with  which  the  life 
of  our  church  is  so  closely  interwoven.  I  can  say,  that  to  me  it  has 
been  both  a  pleasant  and  a  profitable  study.  It  has  excited  within 
me  those  peculiar  affections  and  encouragements  already  referred 
to.  I  have  been  thrilled  by  the  many  things  of  interest,  the  hallowed 
memories,  sacred  associations,  attractive  personalities,  etc.,  con- 
nected with  this  garden  spot  of  earth.  And  as  I  was  thus  afifected,  I 
understood,  at  least  in  part,  why  a  beautiful  daughter  of  this  island 
and  church,  should  have  been  moved  to  write  the  sweet  poem,  "My 
Native  Isle,"  that  Mrs.  Mary  Gardiner  Horsford  did.  The  subject  is 
worthy  of  every  line  of  it.  I  too  have  wished  that  the  feelings  which 
have  come  to  me,  while  pursuing  my  present  purpose,  might  have 
been  voiced  and  versed  through  a  poet's  skill.  This  much  will  do 
for  an  introduction. 

Let  me  now  proceed  to  give  you  what  I  have  been  able  to  gather 
together  from  one  source  and  another.  The  earliest  reference  bear- 
ing upon  this  island  that  has  come  under  my  notice  bears  the  date 
of  1637.  That,  my  hearers,  is  just  two  hundred  and  sixty  years  ago. 
It  is  a  memorable  year  in  the  history  of  our  country.  Memorable 
for  the  conquest  that  the  New  England  settlers  achieved  under  the 
leadership  of  Capt.  John  Mason  and  Capt.  John  Underbill  over  the 
fierce  tribe  of  Indians  known  as  the  "Pequoits,"  who  had  so  long 
harassed  and  terrorized  them.  But  in  that  year,  goaded  on  to  ex- 
treme measures  by  the  murders  that  the  Pequoits  had  committed, 
those  early  settlers  rose  up  in  their  might  and  exterminated  that  tribe 
of  savages  by  the  aid  of  fire,  sword  and  gun.  It  is  in  connection 
with  that  very  work  of  conquest  on  the  hills  of  Mystic,  Conn.,  that 
this  first  reference  touching  our  island  is  made.  Before  mentioning 
it,  however,  it  will  help  us  in  our  understanding  of  it,  to  know  that 
the  Pequoits  were  the  most  powerful  tribe  of  Indians  east  of  the 
Hudson  River.  Their  chief  sachem,  according  to  Goodkin's  His- 
tory, "held  dominion  over  divers  petty  Sagamores,  who  were  chiefs 
of  the  tribes  on  Long  Island,  over  the  Mohegans,  and  over  the 
Sagamores  of  Quinipiac,  yea,  over  all  the  people  that  dwelt  on  the 
Connecticut  River,  and  over  some  of  the  most  southerly  inhabitants 
of  the  Nipmuck  country  about  Quinebaug."  Hence  the  tribes  on 
Long  Island,  including  Shelter  Island,  were  subject  to  the  Pequoits; 
and  acknowledged  it,  by  paying  them  tribute.     Indeed,  the  earliest 


Sfwlter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  1 1 

name  of  the  eastern  end  of  Long  Island  was  "Paumanack,"  mean- 
ing land  of  tribute.  Immediately  upon  the  conquest  of  the  Pe- 
quoits  in  1637,  the  Indians  that  dwelt  upon  Shelter  Island,  together 
with  those  of  Long  Island,  sent  representatives  to  the  Englishmen 
of  New  England,  desiring  to  be  considered  their  friends  and  sub- 
jects by  the  payment  of  a  tribute  to  them.  Winthrop,  who  was 
Governor  of  the  Massachusetts  colony  at  the  time,  says  in  his  jour- 
nal, that  upon  the  reduction  of  the  Pequoits  by  the  English  in  1637, 
"Sachems  from  Long  Island  came  voluntarily  and  brought  a  tribute 
to  us  of  twenty  fathom  of  wampum  each  of  them."  This  is  also 
established  by  the  following  statement,  made  by  Lion  Gardiner, 
who  afterwards  became  the  owner  of  Gardiner's  Island,  but  who  at 
this  time  was  commander  of  the  fort  at  Saybrook,  Conn.  He  says: 
"Three  days  after  the  fight  with  the  Pequoits,  came  Waiandance  to 
me,  to  see  if  we  were  angry  with  all  Indians.  I  answered,  No;  but 
only  with  such  as  killed  Englishmen.  Then  he  inquired  if  he  (Gar- 
diner) would  trade  with  them,  that  is  the  Indians,  adding,  T  will 
go  to  my  brother,  for  he  is  the  great  Sachem  of  Long  Island,  and 
if  we  may  have  peace,  and  trade  with  you,  we  will  give  you  tribute 
as  we  did  to  the  Pequoits.'  Now,  the  brother  of  Waiandance,  of 
whom  he  speaks  as  the  'great  Sachem  of  Long  Island,'  was  'Yovo- 
wan,'  the  Sachem  of  the  tribe  of  Indians  who  lived  on  this  Island; 
and  who  were  known  as  the  Manhasset  tribe  of  Indians.  Yovowan's 
name  appears  upon  the  deed  of  Gardiner's  Island,  dated  1639.  He 
was  also  called  'Yenicoe,'  'Yennicok,'  or  'Yennicott,'  and  'Youco,' 
or  'Yocow.'  " 

This  then,  is  our  starting  point,  and,  as  a  starting  point,  it  will 
serve  our  purpose  very  well,  since  it  tells  us  a  number  of  things. 
First  of  all  it  tells  us  who  dwelt  here,  prior  to  the  advent  of  the 
white  man;  not  only  to  the  shores  of  Shelter  Island,  but,  you  might 
say,  to  the  whole  of  Long  Island;  for  not  a  settlement  had  yet  been 
made  on  the  whole  of  Long  Island  save  at  its  most  westerly  ex- 
tremity, that  of  Brooklyn — that  information  being  the  familiar  one  of 
the  red  man.  It  tells  us,  too,  what  was  the  relation  of  the  tribe  of 
Shelter  Island  Indians  to  the  other  tribes  of  Long  Island;  namely, 
that  of  chief.  And  it  further  tells  us  what  was  the  disposition  of 
these  Indians  towards  the  English:  namely,  to  have  been  a  peace- 
able and  friendly  one.  Besides  this,  I  have  been  able  to  gather  the 
following,  concerning  the  Indians  who  Hved  in  this  region  at  that 
time;  by  which  I  mean  all  the  territory  east  of  an  imaginary  line 


12  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

running  across  Long-  Island  at  Riverhead.  This  territory  was  pos- 
sessed by  four  tribes  of  Indians,  the  first  of  which  was  the  "Man- 
hansetts,"  of  this  island,  whose  Sachem  w^as  called  "Yoco."  The 
second  was  the  "Montauks,"  living  on  the  southern  strip  of  Long 
Island,  east  of  Easthampton,  and  whose  Sachem  was  called  "Waian- 
dance."  The  third  was  the  "Shinnecocks,"  living  in  the  region  of 
Canoe  Place  and  eastward  to  perhaps  Easthampton,  the  Sachem  of 
which  was  called,  at  this  time,  "Witaneymen"  or  "Weenaganim." 
The  fourth  tribe  was  the  "Corchaugs,"  who  possessed  the  whole  of 
the  northern  strip  of  Long  Island  now  comprised  in  the  townships 
of  Southold  and  Riverhead,  whose  Sachem  was  called  "Momoweta." 

The  Sachems  or  chiefs  of  these  four  tribes  were  brothers,  the 
oldest  of  them  being  "Yoco,"  the  Shelter  Island  Sachem.  He  was 
the  Grand  Sachem,  and  was  called  "the  Sachem  of  Paumanack," 
meaning  "the  land  of  tribute"  or  "contributing,"  as  the  eastern  end 
of  Long  Island  was  termed;  derived,  as  we  have  seen,  from  the  fact 
that  the  Indians  in  this  region  paid  tribute,  first  to  the  Pequoits 
and  afterwards  to  the  English  of  New  England;  Indian  names,  be 
it  remembered,  being  invariably  descriptive  of  locality  and  char- 
acteristics. Our  Yoco,  however,  w-as  not  only  Grand  Sachem  of 
these  four  tribes,  but  over  all  the  tribes  of  Long  Island,  at  least  as 
far  west  as  Hempstead.  He  thus  had  ten  or  fifteen  Sachems  under 
him  to  whom  his  word  was  law;  the  four  Sachems  of  the  tribes  in 
this  region  having  taken  under  their  protection  all  the  other  tribes  as 
far  west  as  the  Rockaways  in  Hempstead  town.  This  protectorship 
w^as  agreed  upon  and  confirmed  May  29,  1645,  by  Rockouw,  the 
great  Sachem  of  Cotsjewaninck  (Ahaquazuwamminck).  See  Colon- 
ial History  of  New  York,  Vol.  XIV.,  p.  60,  and  Plymouth  Co- 
lonial Records,  Vol.  IX.,  p.  18.  Our  Indian  Chief  Yoco  was  the 
principal  party  in  making  the  various  conveyances  of  land  to  the 
English,  in  the  eastern  half  of  Long  Island,  as  the  deeds  of  those 
early  days  will  show.  It  was  from  him  that  Lion  Gardiner  pur- 
chased Gardiner's  Island,  May  3,  1639.  In  the  deed  of  conveyance 
his  name  is  given  as  "Yovowan"  and  his  wife's  as  "Aswaw." 

But  we  must  return  again  to  our  starting  point  in  the  year  of 
1637,  for  that  year  is  of  importance  to  us,  not  only  as  bearing  the 
first  reference  to  this  island,  but  as  the  year  in  which  the  Earl  of 
Sterling,  having  acquired  the  whole  of  Long  Island  and  its  adjacent 
islands,  through  a  grant  from  the  English  colony  of  Plymouth,  given 
upon  request  of  King  Charles  the  First,  commissioned  one  James 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  \  ^ 

Farrett  to  be  his  agent  in  disposing  of  this  territory,  for  which  ser- 
vice he  was  given  the  privilege  of  selecting  as  his  own  ten  thousand 
of  the  best  acres  of  the  whole  domain.  With  this  commission  bear- 
ing date  of  April  20,  1637,  a  copy  of  which  can  be  seen  in  the  Town 
Clerk's  ofitice  of  Southampton,  Mr.  Farrett  sailed  early  in  1638. 
Upon  his  arrival  in  the  new  world  he  examined  the  whole  of  the 
territory  covered  by  his  master's  patent;  and,  as  one  has  well  said, 
"with  unerring  judgment  chose  Shelter  Island  together  with  its 
little  neighbor,  Robbins  Island,  as  his  portion,"  according  to  the 
terms  of  his  commission.  By  virtue  of  this  choice  and  grant  our 
island  was  first  known  among  the  English  as  "Mr.  Farrett's  Island." 
It  is  thus  referred  to  in  the  deed  of  Southampton  drawn  up  in  1639 
or  '40,  which  can  be  seen  in  the  Southampton  Town  Clerk's  olHce 
and  is  known  as  "Mr.  Farrett's  patent."  Mr.  Farrett,  however,  did 
not  make  this  island  his  home,  but  simply  selected  it  for  his  own 
commercial  purposes.  He  soon  disposed  of  it  to  a  Mr.  Stephen 
Goodyear,  a  merchant  of  high  standing  in  the  New  Haven  Colony, 
who  bought  it  in  the  early  part  of  1641,  and  who  shortly  after  the 
purchase  became  Deputy  Governor  of  the  New  Haven  Colony. 
Some  three  or  four  months  after  purchasing  it,  Mr.  Goodyear  sought 
to  dispose  of  this  island  to  the  New  Haven  Company,  as  the  follow- 
ing entry,  bearing  date  of  August  30,  1641,  will  show,  namely: 
"Mr.  Goodyear  propounded  his  purchase  of  Mr.  Farrett's  Island 
to  the  town,  but  it  was  not  accepted."  Not  being  able  to  dispose 
of  the  island,  it  continued  in  his  possession  for  ten  years,  or  until 
165 1,  when  he  sold  it  to  a  company  of  four  gentlemen  by  the  names 
of  Thomas  Middleton,  Thomas  Rouse,  Nathaniel  Sylvester  and 
Constant  Sylvester.  The  amount  that  these  gentlemen  paid  to  Mr. 
Goodyear  for  Shelter  Island  was  "sixteen  hundred  pounds  of  good 
merchantable  muscovado  sugar,"  or  a  cash  equivalent  of  from  fifty  to 
one  hundred  dollars. 

As  the  years  during  which  Mr.  Goodyear  remained  the  owner  of 
this  island  are  memorable  ones  in  the  history  of  England,  the  mother 
country,  and  the  memorable  events  of  that  decade  bear  directly  on 
the  settlement  of  this  island  by  at  least  one  of  the  four  gentlemen  who 
purchased  it  in  1651,  we  will  tarry  a  moment  to  dwell  upon  this 
period.  As  you  know,  it  is  the  period  taken  up  by  the  English 
revolution  under  Oliver  Cromwell,  that  political  upheaval  which 
dethroned  King  Charles  the  First  and  his  son  and  successor.  King 
Charles  the  Second.    It  is  the  period  of  the  Long  Parliament.     It  is 


I  A  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

also  the  period  of  the  Westminster  Assembly,  that  ecclesiastical  body 
which  formulated  our  Confession  of  Faith  and  Catechism.  It  is 
the  period  in  which  Puritanism  and  Presbyterianism,  after  a  whole 
century  of  oppression,  came  to  the  top,  and  Prelacy  and  Episco- 
palianism  went  to  the  bottom.  Because  of  this  change  in  public 
afifairs,  the  exodus  of  Independants  and  Puritans  which  had  been 
going  on  for  upward  of  twenty  years,  ceased.  So  far  as  the 
Puritans  were  concerned,  it  had  lasted  twelve  years,  during  which 
some  thirty  thousand  of  these  God-fearing  men  had  come  to  America's 
shores.  Now,  however,  the  King  had  been  checked  in  his  perse- 
cution. A  struggle  for  supremacy  between  the  King  and  Parlia- 
ment had  arisen.  He  endeavored  to  dissolve  his  Parliament,  but  was 
thwarted  and  driven  into  exile;  afterwards  taken  prisoner,  tried, 
condemned  and  beheaded  in  1649.  Oliver  Cromwell  was  victorious. 
The  royalists  were  crushed;  and  in  turn  they  now  sought  out  an 
asylum  where  they  might  take  refuge.  Hearing  of  the  success  of 
the  Pilgrims  and  Puritans  in  this  land,  they  turned  their  attention 
to  this  new  world,  and  so  they,  like  the  Pilgrims  and  Puritans  before 
them,  took  refuge  in  America.  "Had  there  been  no  Oliver  Crom- 
well," says  one  writer  concerning  our  island,  "Had  there  been  no 
Oliver  Cromwell,  Shelter  Island  would  have  had  a  very  different, 
and  doubtless  much  more  prosaic  history,"  for  it  was  that  overthrow 
of  the  King  by  Oliver  Cromwell  that  led  the  first  settlers  upon  this 
island  to  leave  England  and  come  to  America's  shores.  You  can 
see  then  how  the  events  of  those  years  in  England  influenced  the 
history  of  Shelter  Island. 

Then,  too,  the  events  that  happened  on  this  side  of  the  Atlantic 
during  those  years  are  important  to  us.  For  here,  too,  there  was 
a  struggle  for  supremacy,  between  the  Dutch  who  had  settled  about 
the  Hudson  River,  and  the  English  who  had  settled  in  New  Eng- 
land. Both  nations  contended  that  Long  Island  with  its  adjacent 
islands  belonged  to  them,  and  sought  to  take  possession.  But  as 
both  could  not  possess  it,  they  at  last  agreed  to  divide  it  between 
them ;  the  Dutch  to  take  the  western  half  and  the  English  the  eastern 
half;  the  dividing  line  to  extend  across  the  island  from  the  western 
boundary  of  Oyster  Bay  straight  to  the  ocean.  This  agreement 
was  signed  September  19,  1650,  and  was  sent  to  England  and  Hol- 
land for  ratification.  England,  however,  refused  to  recognize  the 
claim  of  the  Dutch,  and  the  result  was  a  war,  in  which  the  Dutch 
were  badly  defeated.     Such  was  the  condition  of  things  when  Mr. 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  15 

Goodyear  disposed  of  this  island  to  the  four  gentlemen  already 
named.  This  shows  us  that  the  causes  which  led  to  the  settlement 
of  this  island  were  altogether  dififerent  from  those  which  led  to  the 
settlement  of  New  England. 

Concerning  the  four  gentlemen  who  purchased  this  island,  I 
have  been  able  to  gain  the  following:  they  were  all  engaged  in  the 
West  India  sugar  industry,  perhaps  partners  in  the  business.  This 
doubtless  accounts  for  the  purchase  price  of  the  island  being  six- 
teen hundred  pounds  of  good  merchantable  muscovado  sugar,  a 
commodity  which  Mr.  Goodyear,  being  a  merchant,  could  easily  dis- 
pose of.  As  Mr.  Thomas  Middleton  is  mentioned  first,  he  may 
have  been  the  oldest.  He  is  spoken  of  as  Captain.  Mr.  Middleton 
did  not  make  the  island  his  home.  The  second  of  the  four  gentle- 
men, Mr.  Thomas  Rouse,  is  said  to  have  hailed  from  the  neighbor- 
hood of  Southwold,  England,  from  whence  he  went  to  Barbadoes, 
where  he  became  a  wealthy  sugar  planter  and  united  with  the 
Quakers.  The  remaining  two  of  the  company,  Nathaniel  and  Con- 
stant Sylvester,  were  brothers,  the  sons  of  Giles  Sylvester,  of  Eng- 
land. They  too  had  gone  to  the  Barbadoes,  and  there  engaged  in 
the  sugar  business.  Before  going,  however,  to  Barbadoes,  they 
emigrated  with  their  father  to  Holland,  where  the  elder  Sylvester 
passed  away.  This  fact  coupled  with  others  to  be  mentioned  would 
indicate  that  the  Sylvesters  were  not  in  sympathy  with  the  Estab- 
lished Church.  Upon  the  death  of  the  father  in  Holland,  the  family, 
consisting  of  the  widow,  four  sons,  Nathaniel,  Constant,  Giles  and 
Joshua,  and  two  daughters,  moved  to  Barbadoes,  where  Nathaniel 
and  Constant  at  least  became  prominent  merchants,  the  latter  be- 
ing in  time  a  member  of  the  Governor's  Council,  and  remaining 
there  until  his  death  in  1671.    A  fifth  son,  Peter,  remained  in  London. 

Nathaniel  Sylvester  soon  changed  his  place  of  abode  to  Shelter 
Island,  being  the  only  one  of  the  four  to  do  so.  He  was  followed 
later  on  by  two  of  his  brothers,  Giles  and  Joshua,  Giles  remaining 
but  a  few  years,  after  which  he  returned  to  England,  where  he  mar- 
ried and  died,  while  Joshua,  after  living  with  his  brother  a  few  years 
moved  to  Southold.  I  am  told  that  the  name  of  the  vessel  in  which 
Nathaniel  Sylvester  came  from  the  West  Indies  to  Shelter  Island 
was  the  "Golden  Parrot."  This  was  in  the  year  1652,  the  year  after 
the  purchase  of  the  island  from  Mr.  Goodyear,  hence  the  date  of 
the  first  white  settlement  on  Shelter  Island. 

Upon  coming  here  to  live  Nathaniel   Sylvester  brought  with 


1 6  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

him  a  young  lady  in  the  person  of  Grissel  Brinley,  whom  h.e  had 
lately  married.  This  young  lady  was  the  daughter  of  Thomas  Brin- 
ley, Esq.,  of  Datchett,  in  County  Bucks,  the  parish  so  well  known 
to  the  million  of  readers  of  Shakespeare's  play,  "The  Merry  Wives 
of  Windsor."  Her  father  was  auditor  under  Charles  the  First  and 
Charles  the  Second,  also  keeper  of  the  accounts  of  the  dower  of 
Henrietta  Maria,  positions  implying  great  friendship  of  the  royal 
family.  In  the  middle  aisle  of  the  church  at  Datchett,  near  Windsor, 
lies  a  tombstone  after  English  fashion  bearing  this  inscription: 
"Thomas  Brinley,  Esq.,  Auditor  General  of  the  Revenues  of  King 
Charles  I  and  H.  Born  in  the  city  of  Exon,  married  Anna  W^ade 
of  Pettsworth  in  Sussex,  by  whom  he  had  five  sons  and  seven 
daughters.  He  was  born  in  1591,  died  1661.  One  of  his  daughters 
married  Nathaniel  Sylvester,  Esq.  Francis,  one  of  his  sons,  ac- 
cepted a  grant  of  land  for  his  father's  services  and  went  to  New- 
port, R.  I."  Because  of  his  friendly  offices  to  the  king  Mr.  Brinley's 
estate  was  confiscated  and  a  warrant  issued  for  his  arrest.  He  man- 
aged, however,  to  escape  to  the  continent,  where  he  was  obliged  to 
live  in  exile  until  the  death  of  Oliver  Cromwell  and  the  return  of 
Charles  the  Second  to  England,  when  he  also  returned  and  died 
shortly  after.  During  his  exile  his  family  had  been  scattered,  his 
daughter  Grissel,  at  the  early  age  of  sixteen,  having  married  Na- 
thaniel Sylvester  in  1652.  Upon  their  marriage  the  young  couple 
went  to  America,  touching  on  their  way  at  Barbadoes,  where  they 
were  liandsomely  entertained  at  the  home  of  Mr.  Constant  Sylvester. 
After  leaving  Barbadoes,  and  while  nearing  the  coast  of  New  Eng- 
land, they  were  shipwrecked,  losing  much  of  their  goods  which  they 
had  brought  with  them  for  their  new  home  on  this  island.  It  was 
indeed  an  eventful  journey,  a  brave  undertaking  for  the  young  wife 
of  sixteen.  At  last  they  reached  this  place  and  began  to  lay  the 
foundation  of  a  family  career  that  may  well  be  the  pride  of  every 
Shelter  Islander. 

They  were  not  long  on  the  island  before  the  Indians  disputed 
their  title  and  made  complaint  to  the  Commissioners  of  the  United 
Colonies  of  New  England  assembled  at  Hartford.  One  of  their 
number,  called  Checkanoe,  appearing  before  that  body  on  the  2d 
of  September,  1652,  to  enter  a  protest,  as  the  following  record  will 
show:  "Whereas  we  were  informed  by  Checkanoe,  an  Indian  of 
Menhansick  Island,  on  behalf  of  the  Indian  inhabitants  of  said 
island,  that  they  are  disturbed  in  their  possession  by  Captain  Mid- 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  i  7 

dleton  and  his  agents,  upon  pretense  of  a  purchase  from  Mr.  Good- 
year, of  New  Haven,  who  bought  the  same  of  one  Mr.  Forrett,  a 
Scotchman,  and  by  vertue  thereof,  the  said  Indians  are  threatened 
to  be  forced  off  the  said  island,  and  to  seek  an  habitation  where  they 
can  get  it;  the  said  Indians  deny  that  they  sold  the  said  island  to 
the  said  Forrett,  and  that  the  said  Forrett  was  a  poor  man,  not  able 
to  purchase  it,  but  the  said  Indians  gave  to  said  Forrett  some  part 
of  the  said  island,  and  marked  it  out  by  some  trees;  yet  never  that 
themselves  be  deprived  of  their  habitation  there,  and  therefore  they 
desired  that  the  Commissioners  (they  being  their  tributaries)  to 
see  they  have  justice  in  the  premises,  the  Commissioners  therefore, 
in  regard  the  said  Mr.  Goodyear  is  not  present,  and  at  their  court, 
to  hear  the  complaint  of  the  said  Indians,  and  to  satisfy  the  said 
Indians  if  they  can,  if  not  to  certify  the  Commissioners  at  the 
next  meeting,  the  truth  of  the  promises,  that  some  further  order 
m.ay  be  taken  therein  as  shall  be  meet."  As  a  result  of  this  protest 
Capt.  Middleton  and  his  associates  had  to  purchase  Shelter  Island 
a  second  time  from  the  Indians,  the  deed  of  which  second  purchase 
appears  among  the  records  of  Easthampton  bearing  date  of  Dec. 
27th,  1652.  Also  a  confirmatory  paper  of  this  second  purchase  is  on 
file  among  the  Southold  Town  records,  and  reads  as  follows : 

"Wee  whose  names  are  here  underneath  subscribed  doe  hereby 
testify  and  declare  that  Yokee,  formerly  Sachem  of  Manhansick 
Ahaquatawamock,  now  called  Shelter  Island,  did  on  the  three 
and  twentieth  of  March,  1652,  give  full  Possession  unto  Capt.  Na- 
thaniel Silvester  and  Ensigne  John  Booth  of  the  aforesaid  island 
of  Ahaquatawamock,  with  all  that  was  belonging  to  the  same.  And 
hee  the  said  Yokee,  delivered  unto  the  aforesaid  Captaine  Nathaniel 
Silvester  and  Ensign  John  Booth  one  turfe  and  twige  in  their  hands 
according  to  the  usual  custome  of  England;  after  which  delivery  and 
full  possession  given,  the  said  Yokee  with  all  his  Indians  that  were 
formerly  belonging  to  said  island  of  Ahaquatawamock  did  freely 
and  willingly  depart  the  aforesaid  island,  leaving  the  aforesaid  Cap- 
taine Nathaniel  Silvester  and  Ensigne  Booth  in  full  possession  of 
the  sam.e.  Unto  which  we  Witness  our  hands  the  date  as  above

1 8  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

From  the  date  of  this  paper  it  would  seem  that  this  transaction 
took  place  early  in  the  year  of  1652,  prior  even  to  the  protest  lodged 
with  the  Commissioners  at  Hartford,  in  consequence  of  which  this 
second  purchase  from  the  Indians  had  to  be  made.  But  we  need 
to  remember  that  at  that  time  the  year  began  either  after  the  loth 
or  with  the  25th  of  March  and  not  on  the  ist  of  January.  This 
made  the  first  part  of  March  to  belong  to  the  old  year  and  the  latter 
part  to  the  new  year.  Hence  the  date  of  the  above  paper,  being  be- 
fore the  25th  of  March,  namely,  the  23d  of  March,  it  belonged  to 
the  old  year  as  indicated,  1652,  though  according  to  our  method  it 
would  be  1653.  We  do  not  know  what  was  the  purchase  price  of 
this  second  sale,  but  with  this  sale  the  Indians  agreed  among  other 
things  to  put  away  all  their  dogs;  these  dogs,  it  may  be  interesting 
to  know,  are  believed  to  have  been  young  wolves  which  the  Indians 
had  caught  and  trained  to  do  them  service,  but  which  in  spite  of 
their  training  continued  to  be  very  ravenous,  a  frequent  source  of 
annoyance  to  the  white  settlers. 

You  will  notice  that  in  the  confirmatory  paper  just  read,  it  is 
stated  that  shortly  after  the  second  conveyance  the  Indians  left  this 
Island.  If  so,  they  dispersed  among  the  Montauks,  Shinnecocks  and 
Corchaugs.  Perhaps  they  scattered  because  of  their  Sachem's 
death,  for  Yoco,  their  chief,  and  the  supreme  chief  of  all  the  Long 
Island  Indians,  passed  away  to  the  happy  hunting  grounds  in 
1653.  At  least,  such  is  the  opinion  of  certain  writers.  In  the 
Chronicles  of  East  Hampton,  by  the  late  David  Gardiner,  there  is 
an  interesting  account  of  the  funeral  of  our  noted  Chief  Yoco,  which 
reads  as  follows:  "His  remains  were  transported  for  burial  from 
Shelter  Island  to  Montaukett,  where  was  the  burying  ground  of  the 
Indians.  In  removing  the  body,  the  bearers  rested  the  bier  by  the 
side  of  the  road  leading  from  Sag  Harbour  to  Easthampton,  near  the 
third  mile  stone,  where  a  small  excavation  was  made  to  designate  the 
spot.  From  that  time  to  the  present,  more  than  190  years,  this  mem- 
orial has  remained,  as  fresh,  seemingly,  as  if  but  lately  made.  Neither 
leaf  nor  stone,  nor  any  other  thing,  has  been  suffered  to  remain  in 
it.  The  Montauk  tribe,  though  reduced  to  a  beggarly  number  of 
some  ten  or  fifteen  drunken  and  degraded  beings,  have  retained  to 
this  day  the  memory  of  the  event,  and  no  one  individual  of  them  now 
passes  the  spot  in  his  wanderings  without  removing  whatever  may 
have  fallen  into  it.  The  place  is  to  them  holy  ground,  and  the  exhi- 
bition of  this  pious  act  does  honor  to  the  finest  feelings  of  the  human 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  in 

heart.  The  excavation  is  about  12  inches  in  depth  and  18  inches  in 
diameter,  in  the  form  of  a  mortar."  As  late  as  1845  the  Rev.  N.  S. 
Prime,  author  of  "An  Ecclesiastical  History  of  Long  Island,"  being 
acquainted  with  the  foregoing  fact,  examined  the  place  anew  and 
found  it  in  its  original  form  and  freshness  as  above  described.  When 
the  turnpike  between  Sag  Harbor  and  Easthampton  was  laid  out 
about  i860,  the  spot  was  plowed  up  and  the  sacred  memorial  of  over 
two  hundred  years'  standing  was  obliterated.  One  of  Sag  Harbor's 
respected  citizens  told  me  this  past  week,  while  speaking  of  this 
matter,  that  she  remembered  very  well  the  very  spot,  and  had  seen 
with  her  own  eyes  the  reverence  that  was  paid  to  it  by  the  Indians. 
She  spoke  of  an  Indian  in  particular,  known  in  Sag  Harbor  as 
Stephen  Pharaoh,  or  Talkhouse,  who  would  get  down  by  that  spot 
whenever  he  passed  and  clean  it  out  reverently,  following  the  cus- 
tom of  his  forefathers.  This  Indian  died  in  1882.  That  spot  was 
known  as  "Whooping  Boys'  Hollow,"  so  called  because  the  Indians 
who  bore  the  body  of  Yoco  gave  a  parting  whoop  as  they  resumed 
their  funeral  march. 

Before  leaving  the  aborigines  of  this  place,  so  interesting 
in  their  history,  I  wish  to  call  your  attention  to  another  mem- 
ber of  the  Manhansett  tribe,  brother-in-law  to  Yoco,  the  chief,  an 
Indian  who  played  a  most  important  part  in  the  various  transactions 
between  the  English  and  the  Indians,  acting  as  their  interpreter  and 
notary  public.  He  has  already  been  mentioned  in  this  paper,  for 
he  was  the  representative  of  the  Manhansett  tribe  before  the  com- 
missioners at  Hartford,  when  the  protest  was  made,  upon  the 
strength  of  which  Captain  Nathaniel  Silvester  and  his  associates 
had  to  pay  a  second  time  for  this  island.  He  is  there  called 
"Checkanoe,  an  Indian  of  Manhansick  Island."  Just  a  year  ago 
Mr.  William  Wallace  Tooker,  of  Sag  Harbor,  issued  a  work  en- 
titled "John  Eliot's  First  Indian  Interpreter,  Cockenoe-de-Long 
Island,"  an  exceedingly  interesting  essay  on  this  very  Indian  of 
Shelter  Island.  I  have  read  and  re-read  this  book  with  great  inter- 
est, and  believe  with  Mr.  Tooker  that  this  "Checkanoe,  an  Indian 
of  Manhansick  Island,"  was  the  young  Indian  who  was  so  helpful  to 
John  Eliot,  the  great  apostle  to  the  Indians,  both  in  acquiring  the 
Indian  language,  in  preaching  to  the  Indians,  and  also  in  his  trans- 
lation of  the  Bible  into  the  Algonquian  tongue,  which  was  the  lan- 
guage of  the  Indians.  I  have  not  the  time  to  dwell  longer  upon  this 
unique  character,  who  for  nearly  fifty  years  was  such  an  important 


20  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

factor  in  the  transactions  of  the  early  settlers  with  the  Indians.  His 
memory,  however,  is  honored  to  this  day,  his  name  being  given  to  an 
island  in  Long  Island  Sound,  near  the  mouth  of  the  Saugatuck  river, 
in  1652,  called  "Cockenoe's  Island,"  and  is  so  designated  at  the 
present  time  on  the  Coast  Survey  Chart  of  the  United  States.  It 
will  pay  you  to  read  this  book,  which  can  be  had  from  our  Public 
Library.  One  thing,  however,  I  wish  to  state,  namely:  This  young 
Indian's  literary  ability  is  an  evidence  to  me  that  God  has  made  of 
one  blood  all  nations  that  dwell  upon  the  face  of  the  earth.  For 
just  as  soon  as  this  Indian's  mind  was  brought  in  contact  with  in- 
tellectual training,  it  readily  grasped  the  knowledge  that  was  sought 
to  be  conveyed  and  responded  quickly  to  every  intellectual  touch, 
though  it  were  but  the  mind  of  a  heathen,  offspring  of  a  heathen 
ancestry  that  perhaps  had  never  known  literary  characters.  To  me 
it  was  a  surprising  evidence  of  the  truth  that  God  is  the  Creator  of 
us  all  and  that  we  are  all,  white  and  red  man,  the  offspring  of  a 
common  parent.

CHAPTER  11. 

Our  first  installment  of  this  historical  paper  closed  with  the 
burial  of  the  great  Manhansett  chief  Yoco  and  a  reference  to  an- 
other celebrated  Manhansett  Indian  named  "Cockenoe."  We  now 
turn  from  the  red  man  to  the  white  man,  from  the  aborigines  to 
the  original  settlers  of  this  island. 

It  is  said  that  when  Mr.  Goodyear,  Deputy  Governor  of  New 
Haven,  sold  this  island,  in  1651,  to  Messrs.  Middleton,  Rouse  and 
the  Sylvester  brothers,  at  least  one  of  the  four  gentlemen,  Captain 
Nathaniel  Sylvester,  was  on  the  island  or  had  visited  it  at  the  time 
of  the  purchase.  This  gentleman,  as  we  have  seen,  decided  to  make 
the  island  his  home.  To  that  end,  in  due  time,  he  shipped  at  least 
one  cargo  of  building  material,  together  with  other  articles,  send- 
ing with  these  goods  a  force  of  workmen,  who  w^ere  to  prepare  a 
habitation  for  his  coming.  He  had  gone  to  England,  and  there  early 
the  next  year,  1652,  married  Grissel  Brinley,  with  whom  he  came 
to  Shelter  Island  to  make  it  his  home.  With  them  there  came  to 
America,  Francis  Brinley,  brother  of  Mrs.  Nathaniel  Sylvester,  who 
afterwards,  according  to  the  inscription  on  the  slab  in  the  aisle  of 
the  church  at  Dachette,  received  a  grant  of  land  in  Rhode  Island. 
There  was  also  in  the  party  another  bride,  sister  of  Francis  Brinley 
and  Mrs.  Sylvester,  namely,  Anne  Brinley,  who  had  married  Gov. 
WilHam  Coddington  of  Rhode  Island,  and  finally  besides  these  Giles 
Sylvester.  These  first  touched  at  Barbadoes,  from  whence  they  sailed 
in  the  "Golden  Parrot"  for  Shelter  Island,  arriving  about  the  middle 
of  1652;  that  is,  Captain  Nathaniel  Sylvester  and  his  wife,  Giles  and 
Joshua  Sylvester,  Giles'  name,  as  you  will  remember,  appearing  as 
one  of  the  witnesses  of  the  confirmatory  paper  of  the  second  purchase 
of  the  island  by  Captain  Nathaniel  Sylvester  and  Ensign  John  Booth 
from  the  Indians.  Giles  is  also  mentioned  in  a  letter  written  by 
Nathaniel  Sylvester  to  Gov.  John  Winthrop  of  Connecticut,  who 
lived  at  that  time  on  Fisher's  Island,  bearing  date  of  October  10, 
1654.  Joshua's  name  appears  among  the  names  of  the  early  settlers 
of  Southold  in  Dr.  Whitaker's  history  of  that  place.  Captain  Na- 
thaniel Sylvester  brought  with  him,  besides  his  wife  and  brothers, 
several  servants  and  some  slaves  from  Barbadoes.  These,  with 
what  workmen  were  upon  the  island  at  their  coming,  constituted  the 


2  2  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

first  white  settlement.  In  the  course  of  time  the  settlement  was  in- 
creased by  natural  results,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Sylvester  becoming  the 
parents  of  a  large  family  of  children,  the  first  of  which  came  upon 
earth  about  the  middle  of  August,  1654,  for  in  another  letter  to  Mr. 
Winthrop,  of  Fisher's  Island,  bearing  date  of  September  8,  1655.  ad- 
vice is  sought  in  behalf  of  this  baby,  who  had  become  ill,  in  these 
pathetic  words:  "Our  grief  is  great  to  see  the  child  lay  in  ye  sad  con- 
dition and  here  quite  out  of  ye  way  of  help." 

Captain  Nathaniel  Sylvester  became  in  time  the  owner  of  the 
whole  island.  We  shall  have  occasion  later  on  to  trace  this  develop- 
ment in  the  ownership  of  our  island.  Thus  far  we  have  had  occasion 
to  mention,  since  the  sale  in  1651,  in  turn,  the  years  of  1652,  1653, 
1654,  1655.  We  now  come  to  another  interesting  period.  It  is  the 
period  of  the  persecution  of  the  Quakers  in  New  England,  beginning 
in  1656  and  lasting  till  1661.  To  us  it  is  a  surprising  thing,  that  in  this 
land  of  ours,  persons  should  have  been  persecuted  even  unto  death 
for  their  religious  belief.  Yet  such  is  the  truth.  Persecuted,  tortured, 
scourged  and  branded  with  hot  irons.  Among  those  who  suffered 
thus  was  John  Rouse,  son  of  Thomas  Rouse,  one  of  the  four  gentlemen 
who  bought  this  island  from  Mr.  Goodyear.  This  John  Rouse  had 
his  ears  cut  off  for  being  a  Quaker.  Others  were  banished  from  the 
New  England  colonies  upon  pain  of  death  if  they  returned.  Such 
was  the  treatment  that  the  New  England  settlers  meted  out  to  the 
Quakers.  The  adherents  of  this  sect  were  looked  upon  then  in 
about  the  same  light  as  we  look  upon  anarchists  now.  It  was  during 
these  troublous  times  that  this  island  became  indeed  a  Shelter  Island, 
as  many  of  these  persecuted  Quakers  found  an  asylum  here  and 
were  succored  by  Captain  Nathaniel  Sylvester  and  his  family. 

Notably  among  those  who  found  such  shelter  were  Lawrence 
and  Cassandra  Southwick,  an  aged  couple.  After  having  been  put 
into  prison,  starved  and  flogged,  they  were  banished  from  New 
England  with  the  threat  that  if  they  ever  returned  they  would  be 
put  to  death.  The  threat  was  not  needed,  for  shortly  after  they  had 
been  received  upon  this  island,  they  died  and  are  believed  to  have 
been  buried  in  the  ancient  graveyard  now  on  the  Horsford  estate. 
The  poet  Whittier,  you  know,  has  immortalized  this  act  of  shelter- 
ing these  refugees  by  making  it  the  subject  of  one  of  his  finest 
poems,  Mary  Dyer,  who  was  hung  upon  Boston  Commons,  also 
received  succor  for  a  time  on  this  island.  Likewise  William  Leddra 
and  Joseph  Nicholson  and  wife.    These,  together  with  others,  were 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  23 

here  kindly  treated  and  cared  for,  their  wounds  dressed  and  healed, 
and  their  spirits  cheered  and  strengthened. 

Besides  these,  others  of  this  sect  who  came  from  England,  not- 
ably John  Taylor,  of  York,  and  William  Robinson  and  George  Fox, 
the  great  apostle  of  the  Friends  or  Quakers,  touched  first  at  Shelter 
Island  or  in  time  tarried  here. 

James  Bowden,  in  his  "History  of  the  Society  of  Friends,"  says 
that  except  this  island  and  the  colony  of  Rhode  Island,  there  was 
not  at  this  time  a  nook  in  the  colonies  of  North  America  on  which  a 
Friend  could  land  without  exposing  himself  to  severe  suffering 
and  the  ship-master  to  a  heavy  penalty.  The  possession,  therefore, 
of  this  island,  he  adds,  by  one  who  loved  the  truth  was  a  providential 
circumstance  peculiarly  favorable  to  Friends  at  this  juncture,  and 
not  to  be  viewed  as  one  of  mere  chance. 

From  all  this  it  has  been  claimed  by  one  and  another  that 
Nathaniel  Sylvester  and  his  family  were  Quakers  or  Friends.  Dr. 
Charles  Evans,  author  of  "Friends  in  the  17th  Century,"  says  that 
"he  either  became  a  Friend  at  the  time  he  purchased  the  island,  or 
he  was  convinced  of  the  principles  of  the  Friends  soon  after  he  ob- 
tained possession  of  it.  Here  the  weary  exiles,  on  account  of  re- 
ligion, always  found  a  home  and  a  heart  to  receive,  to  succor  and 
refresh  them,  so  that  the  kindness  and  liberality  of  Nathaniel  Syl- 
vester were  widely  known  and  highly  appreciated  by  Friends  in 
America  and  Great  Britain." 

James  Bowden  in  his  work,  to  which  reference  has  already  been 
made,  says  of  Nathaniel  Sylvester  that  when  he  joined  in  religious 
professions  with  Friends,  we  are  uninformed;  but  as  early  as  the 
third  month  of  1659  he  is  referred  to  as  one  who  had  adopted  our 
principles."  This  is  also  the  opinion  of  his  descendants,  who  live 
upon  the  estate  to-day.  Both  Bowden  and  Evans  think  that  these 
friendly  acts  of  succor  and  refuge,  which  the  proprietor  of  this 
island  extended  to  the  persecuted  Quakers,  gave  to  this  island  its 
present  name  of  Shelter  Island.  As  we  shall  have  occasion  to 
speak  of  the  names  given  to  this  island  at  various  times  and  their 
origin  presently,  we  shall  let  this  claim  stand  until  then. 

There  is  an  interesting  paper  among  the  records  of  Southold, 
bearing  date  of  the  28th  of  the  eleventh  month  of  1657,  the  origin 
of  which  is  perhaps  connected  with  the  persecution  of  the  Quakers. 
This  persecution  led  the  writer  to  express  himself  rather  strongly, 
which  he  afterwards  regrets  and  retracts,  as  the  paper  will  show.

Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 


It  is  signed  by  Giles  Sylvester,  and  reads  as  follows:  "Whereas,  I 
am  accused  to  say  that  all  the  ministers  in  New  England  were  worse 
than  witches,  I  owne  I  said  soe,  for  which  I  am  heartily  sorrowfull, 
and  owne  to  bee  very  inconsiderately  spoken  and  to  my  folly  and 
wickedness  in  it,  and  hope  the  Lord  shall  guide  my  wayes  and  words 
to  be  more  circumspect  and  like  to  himselfe.  Then  the  parties  that 
heard  them  finding  themselves  grieved,  I  told  them  that  I  meane  noe 
other  than  those  that  were  formall  and  not  spirituall,  such  was  my 
meaning,  though  not  expressed  till  exception  was  made;  therefore, 
I  say,  as  I  sayed,  it  is  very  evill  in  me  or  in  any  man  to  say  any  such 
thing,  for  we  ought  not  to  speak  evill  of  any  man." 

28th  of  the  iim..  1657.  GILES  SYLVESTER. 

Before  leaving  the  Quakers  it  is  worthy  of  record  that  George 
Fox,  the  founder  of  this  sect,  twice  visited  this  island  and  was  en- 
tertained by  the  Sylvesters.  The  Rev.  Mr.  Fox,  in  his  journal  of 
1672,  speaks  of  his  visits  to  this  island,  and  of  his  preaching  to  the 
Indians  and  the  people,  who  were  deeply  impressed  by  what  he  said 
unto  them. 

And  now  let  me  refer  briefly  to  the  various  names  that  have  been 
given  to  this  island.  The  first  is  Cotjewaminick,  which  appears 
upon  a  deed  given  to  Sir  Gardiner  by  Yoco,  the  Manhansick  chief. 
It  was  also  called  by  the  Indians  "Manhansick  Ahaquashuwornock" 
or  "Manhansick  Ahaquazuwamuck,"  which  is  said  to  mean  "at  or 
about  the  island  sheltered  their  fishing  place,"  or  "their  sheltered 
fishing  place  at  or  about  the  island."  The  first  English  name  which 
it  bore  was  Mr.  Farrett's  Island  or  Farrett's  Island.  After  Air. 
Farrett  sold  the  island  to  Mr.  Goodyear,  it  was  also  known  as 
Goodyear's  Island,  and  when  Mr.  Goodyear  disposed  of  it  to  the 
four  English  gentlemen,  one  of  whom  selected  it  as  his  dwelling 
place,  namely,  Captain  Nathaniel  Sylvester,  it  was  known  as  Syl- 
vester Island,  appearing  as  such  upon  record  as  late  as  1674.  How- 
ever, long  before  this,  it  was  also  called  Shelter  Island,  and  this,  too, 
before  the  Quaker  persecution  began.  Indeed,  it  is  so  called  in  the 
confirmatory  paper,  bearing  date  March  23,  1652,  namely,  "Wee 
whose  names  are  here  underneath  subscribed  do  hereby  testify  and 
declare  that  Yokee.  formerly  Sachem  of  Menhansick  Ahaquazuwa- 
muck, now  called  Shelter  Island."  Hence  Bowden  and  Evans  are 
wrong  in  claiming  that  because  of  the  friendly  acts  of  succor  and 
refuge  which  the  proprietor  of  this  island  extended  to  the  persecuted 
Quakers,  the  island  received  its  present  name  of  Shelter   Island.

Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  25 

It  received  this  name  upon  the  coming  of  the  Sylvesters  in  1652, 
without  doubt,  suggested  and  determined  by  the  meaning  of  the 
Indian  name,  Manhansick  Ahaquatuwamock,  a  sheltered  island  or 
Shelter  Island.  It  is  a  goodly  name,  and  long  may  it  be  signifi- 
cant, not  only  of  a  popular  watering  place,  but  of  friendliness,  love 
of  mankind,  liberty  of  conscience,  nobility  of  character,  and  every 
g^ace  that  should  adorn  a  Christian  and  God-fearing  community. 

Let  us  now  resume  the  tracing  out  of  the  various  owners  of  this 
island.    These  have  thus  far  been: 

The  Manhansett  tribe  of  Indians; 

King  Charles  I.; 

Earl  of  Stirling; 

James  Farrett; 

Stephen  Goodyear,  and 

Messrs.  Middleton,  Rouse,  Nathaniel  and  Constant  Sylvester. 
Now  another  name  is  introduced  as  part  owner,  namely,  that  of 
Ensign  John  Booth,  who  with  Captain  Sylvester  made  the  purchase 
from  the  Indians  in  December,  1652.  It  may  be  that  this  John 
Booth  simply  represented  Messrs.  Middleton,  Rouse  and  Constant 
Sylvester,  as  there  is  another  paper  on  record  bearing  the  date  of 
1656,  which  implies  that  Thomas  Rouse  was  still  the  owner  of  one- 
fourth  of  the  island,  that  paper  being  a  release  of  his  quarter  of  the 
island  to  Thomas  Middleton  for  John  Booth.  John  Booth  thus,  in 
1656,  takes  the  place  of  Thomas  Rouse,  and  the  owners  are  Middle- 
ton,  Booth,  Nathaniel  and  Constant  Sylvester.  This  ownership 
continued  for  a  while,  when  John  Booth  withdrew  by  selling  his 
portion  to  Nathaniel  Sylvester  for  700  pounds  sterling.  Nathaniel 
Sylvester  soon  after  conveyed  a  portion  of  this  newly  acquired 
quarter  to  his  brother  Constant.  This  happened  September  12, 
1662.  It  was  now  in  the  hands  of  Thomas  Middleton,  Nathaniel 
Sylvester  and  Constant  Sylvester,  and  continued  so  until  1673, 
when  Captain  Nathaniel  Sylvester  became  sole  proprietor  of  the 
island,  as  will  be  shortly  seen  from  documents  bearing  that  date. 
Let  us,  however,  return  again  to  old  England,  for  there  certain 
things  have  happened  since  last  we  referred  to  her,  that,  like  previous 
events,  afifected  this  island  during  these  years  of  Captain  Nathaniel 
Sylvester's  residence  upon  it  and  in  the  progress  of  which  he  be- 
came sole  proprietor.  Our  last  reference  to  the  mother  country 
closed  with  Oliver  Cromwell's  decisive  victory  over  the  royalist 
forces,  by  which  he  became  ruler  of  all  England,  assuming  the  title, 


y 


26  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

not  of  King,  but  of  Protector.  He  continued  thus  until  his  death  in 
1658.  We  also  had  occasion  to  state  the  rejection  on  the  part 
of  Cromwell  for  England,  of  the  proposed  division  of  Long  Island, 
between  the  Dutch  and  the  English,  according  to  the  proposed 
treaty  agreed  upon  at  Hartford,  in  1650,  between  the  Dutch  and 
English  colonists,  which  treaty  was  sent  to  Holland  and  England 
for  ratification.  In  rejecting  this  treaty,  the  claims  of  the  Dutch 
were  entirely  ignored,  the  reason  given  being  in  these  words,  "of  not 
knowing  of  any  plantations  of  the  Netherlands  there,  save  a  small 
number  upon  Hudson's  River."  This,  as  was  then  stated,  resulted  in 
war,  in  which  the  English  were  the  victors.  While  this  war  lasted, 
which  was  for  about  two  years,  there  were  troublous  times  for  our 
early  settlers  here.  Upon  Cromwell's  death,  September  3,  1658, 
his  eldest  son,  Richard,  was  proclaimed  his  successor.  But  he  was 
not  the  success  his  father  was  at  ruling,  and  so  the  people  once  more 
desired  the  restoration  of  kingly  rule,  inviting  Charles  II.  to 
return  and  assume  the  crown,  which  he  did  on  the  29th  of  May, 
1660. 

He  immediately  issued  orders  to  the  New  England  colonies  to 
cease  their  persecution  of  the  Quakers,  having  been  kept  informed, 
while  in  exile,  of  their  suffering,  through  the  writings  of  Mrs.  Syl- 
vester to  her  father,  who  was  always  near  the  King  in  his  flight. 
On  the  1 2th  of  March,  1663,  King  Charles  II.  gave  to  his  brother, 
the  Duke  of  York,  an  extensive  grant  of  territory  in  the  New  World, 
which  included  the  Dutch  settlement  of  New  Amsterdam  and  the 
whole  of  Long  Island.  Immediately  upon  receiving  this  patent,  the 
Duke  of  York  sought  to  take  possession  by  constituting  Colonel 
Richard  Nicholls  Deputy  Governor  of  the  Colony,  and  commission- 
ing him  to  take  possession  of  this  territory.  The  following  year,  or 
in  1664,  he  sailed  with  a  fleet  of  man-of-warsmen,  and  in  due  time 
appeared  in  New  York  harbor.  He  immediately  issued  a  summons 
to  surrender,  which  he  enforced  without  bloodshed,  and  thus  the 
English  became  possessors  of  New  Amsterdam,  now  called  New 
York  in  honor  of  the  Duke  of  York,  and  the  whole  of  Long  Island, 
including  the  adjacent  islands.  This  necessitated  a  confirmation  in 
the  title  of  this  island,  which  the  Sylvester  brothers  sought  and  re- 
ceived from  Governor  Nicolls.  They  also  received  from  Governor 
Nicholls  a  perpetual  exemption  from  taxes  and  other  public  bur- 
dens upon  the  payment  of  £150,  "one-half  of  which  was  to  be  in  beef 
and  the  other  half  in  pork."

These  papers  read  as  follows,  the  latter,  namely,  the  release, 
bearing  the  earlier  date  of  the  two,  and  therefore  given  first:  "Rich- 
ard Nicoll,Esqr.,Govenor,  under  his  Royall  Highnesse,  James,  Duke

and  Constant  Sylvester,  and  to  their  heires  and  assignes  forever.

eigne  invasion  or  disturbance  by  the  natives.  Given  under  my  hand 
and  scale  in  James  fforte  ye  25th  day  of  May,  in  ye  year  Anno  Dom. 
1666.  "RICH.  NICOLL."     (L.  S.) 

The  confirmation  is  as  follows:  "  A  tract  of  land  lying  and  being 
in  a  certain  bite,  bay,  or  arm  of  the  sea,  which  runneth  between  the 
lands  of  Easthampton,  Southampton  and  Southold,  in  the  East 
Riding  of  Yorkshire,  upon  Long  Island,  heretofore  purchased 
from  the  Indians  by  James  fforett,  agent  to  William,  Earl  of  Stir- 
ling, and  which  hath  since  come  by  several  deeds,  conveyances  and 
grants  to  the  said  Constant  Sylvester,  of  the  island  of  Barbadoes, 
Esq.,  and  Nathaniel  Sylvester,  then  inhabiting  and  residing  in 
Shelter  Island  aforesaid,  merchant;  and  which  said  manor  and  place

lamb,  upon  the  first  day  of  May,  if  the  same  shall  be  demanded." 
This  paper  bears  the  date  of  May  31,  1666. 

You  will  notice,  please,  that  in  this  document  Governor  Nicoll 
places  Shelter  Island  on  the  same  footing-  with  "any  other  town,  in- 
franchised  place  or  manor  within  this  government."  Thus,  as  early 
as  1666  Shelter  Island  was  designated  as  a  town,  though  not  fully 
organized  as  such  by  the  selection  of  proper  officers  until  1730. 

For  a  few  years  after  this  the  island  continued  in  the  peaceful 
ownership  of  the  Sylvester  brothers  and  Thomas  Middleton.  But 
only  for  a  few  years.  For  in  1673,  seven  years  later,  the  Dutch  sud- 
denly recaptured  New  York  and  all  their  lost  territory.  This  in- 
volved another  change  in  the  government  and  proprietorship  of 
this  island.  Governor  Colve,  now  being  the  ruler  of  Long  Island 
and  its  adjacent  islands,  by  a  formal  act,  dated  April  28,  1673,  de- 
clared Constant  Sylvester  and  Thomas  Middleton  enemies  of  the 
government  and  confiscated  their  ownership  and  interests  in  Shelter 
Island.  Constant  Sylvester  in  the  meantime  had  died,  leaving  his 
portion  to  his  heirs,  while  Thomas  Middleton  was  in  England.  To 
enforce  this  confiscation,  several  Dutch  men-of-war  appeared  off 
Shelter  Island,  with  the  following  result  as  set  forth  in  the  colonial 
documents  of  that  day,  written  in  Dutch,  the  translation  of  which, 
as  here  given,  being  an  exact  copy  of  what  is  on  record  at  the  State 
Capitol  in  Albany. 

"Nathaniel  Sylvester  delivered  in  council  an  extract  from  his 
Privileges.  He  was  commanded  to  produce  the  original,  which  he 
said  he  left  home — on  which  the  protocol  being  examined  it  was 
ascertained  that  the  Heirs  of  his  Brother,  late  Constant  Sylvester, 
with  one  cos.  Middleton,  residing  in  England,  were  co-partners  of 
the  Island,  named  Shelter  Island — whose  share  must  be  confis- 
cated in  behalf  of  the  State. 

"To  which  the  aforesaid  Nathaniel  Sylvester  replys  that  a  con- 
siderable sum  of  money  was  due  to  him  by  the  aforesaid  heirs  of 
Constant  Sylvester — but  after  many  discussions  pro  and  con  it  was 
finally  agreed  with  the  aforesaid  Nathaniel  Sylvester  that  he,  in 
compensation  for  the  action  of  said  heirs  of  Constant  Sylvester  and 
Thomas  Middel-towne — as  for  the  confirmation  of  his  Privileges — 
shall  pay  to  the  Government  the  sum  of  five  hundred  pounds  in  pro- 
vision of  this  country." 

Following  is  the  confiscation  of  Shelter  Island  and  its  transfer 
to  Nathaniel  Svlvester:

our  Military  Counsil  of  the  Navy,  in  the  service  of  Their  High  and 
Mighty  Lords,  the  States  General  of  the  United  Netherlands,  and 
His  Serene  Highness  the  Lord  Prince  of  Orange,  greeting — 

"Be  it  known  that  we,  in  virtue  of  our  commission  of  aforesaid 
High  and  Mighty  Lords  are  authorised  and  qualified  to  make  war 
with  our  men-of-war  and  confided  soldiers  against  the  King  of 
England  and  France  and  their  subjects — publick  enemies  of  our 
State  and  to  inflict  them  all  possible  damages  by  water  as  well  as 
on  land,  and  if  possible  to  take  and  conquer  their  possessions,  and

which  by  force  of  arms  lawfully  and  brought  under  the  submission

the  city  of  New-Yorke,  now  named  New  Orange,  situated  on  the 
Island  Manhattans,  with  all  the  lands,  places  and  territories  de-

and  in  virtue  of  the  commission  of  His  Majesty  of  England,  under 
the  patronage  of  the  Duke  of  Yorke,  among  which  lands  and  ter- 
ritories is  discovered  a  certain  island  known  by  the  name  of  Shelter 
Island,  situated  to  the  east  of  Long  Island,  now  in  possession  of 
Nathaniel  Silvester — to  whom  however  it  belongs  in  part  with  heirs 
of  Constant  Sylvester  and  cos.  Thomas  Middletowne,  residing  in 
England,  the  Barbadoes,  being  subjects  of  his  Majesty  of  England

to  whom  in  no  manner  can  be  permitted  the  liberty  granted  to  all

confiscated  in  behalf  of  the  aforesaid  High  and  Mighty  Lords,  the 
State's  General  of  the  united  Netherlands  and  his  Serene  High-

the  aforesaid  heirs  of  Constant  Sylvester  and  Thomas  Middletowne, 
or  any  other  individual  of  our  lawful  enemies  may  have  in  aforesaid 
island  named  Shelter  Island.     So  as  we  now  confiscate  all  their

interest  and  property  in  behalf  of  our  Lords  and  Masters — never- 
theless well  understood  that  in  this  confiscation  it  is  not  in 

well  expressly,  after  mature  deliberation  excluded  the  rigfhts  and 
property  of  aforesaid  Nathaniel  Sylvester,  either  in  regard  to  said 
Island  or  his  other  real  and  personal  property — goods,  effects,  fur- 
niture, negros  or  whatever  else  within  this  government  may  belong 
to  him  as  lawful  property — while  his  submission  to  the  allegeaince 
of  our  aforesaid  Lords  and  Masters,  Their  High  and  Mighty  Lords 
the  State's  General  of  the  united  Netherlands  and  his  Serene  High- 
ness the  Lord  Prince  of  Orange  entitles  him  with  all  our  other 
good  subjects  to  an  equal  protection  with  him. 

"In  Fort  William  Hendrick  on  28  of  Aug.,  1673. 

"This  day  Nathaniel  Sylvester,  agreeable  to  the  agreement  con- 
cluded on  yesterday,  delivered  his  bond  at  the  Secretary's  office  of 
Secretary  Bayard,  on  which  the  following  transfer  was  made  to  him 
and  confirmed: 

"The  noble,  valiant  Military  Tribunal  in  behalf  of  the  High  and 
Mighty  Lords,  the  States  General  of  the  united  Netherlands  and 
His  Serene  Highness  the  Lord  Prince  of  Orange — commanding  the 
Squadron  now  at  anchor  in  Hudson's  River,  in  New  Netherlands — 
greeting  be  it  known :  Whereas  we  in  virtue  of  our  commission  by  a 
preceeding  Act  for  sufificient  motive  confiscated  in  behalf  of  our 
Master  the  lands,  house,  and  goods,  negros  and  effects  of  what  nature 
these  might  be,  which  belonged  to  the  heirs  of  the  late  Constant 
Sylvester  and  cos.  Thomas  Middleton,  situated  on  Shelter  Island, 
to  the  east  of  Long  Island,  and  being  property  belonging  to  sub- 
jects of  England  and  publick  enemies  of  our  State,  so  is  it,  that  we 
have  deemed  it  proper  and  resolved  to  confiscate  said  house,  lands 
with  all  the  goods,  negros,  and  effects  belonging  to  enemies  of  our 
State  as  aforesaid  in  behalf  of  our  Lords  and  Masters  and  to  sell 
these  to  their  advantage — so  as  we  then  in  conformity  with  this 
resolution  agreed  with  Nathaniel  Sylvester  a  partner  of  aforesaid 
Shelter  Isl.  to  whom  the  aforesaid  interest,  right  and  title  of  the 
aforesaid  heirs  of  Con.  Sylvester  and  Thomas  Middleton  was  sold 
by  us  for  the  sum  of  five  hundred  Pound  Sterling,  payable  in  con- 
formity to  certain  bond  (obligation),  declaring  therefore  to  the 
aforesaid  Nathaniel  Sylvester,  his  heirs  and  posterity  in  considera- 
ting  of  the  aforesaid  sum  to  transfer  and  dedicate,  so  as  we  are  doing 
by  this  all  the  interest,  right  and  title  which  the  aforesaid  heirs  of

Constant  Sylvester  and  Thomas  Middleton  might  possess  in  afore- 
said Island  and  its  dependences  as  aforesaid,  to  be  taken  pos- 
session of,  used  and  retained  in  full  and  lawful  property  by  aforesaid 
Nathaniel  Sylvester,  his  heirs  and  posterity — and  further  to  act  with 
it  so  as  they  might  think  proper  or  should  wish  to  act  with  any  other 
parts  of  the  patrimonial  land  or  effects  with  a  further  confirmation 
of  all  advantages,  immunities  and  privileges,  which  have  been 
granted  and  consented  to  the  Island  by  the  former  Governor — 
as  namely,  execution  of  all  taxes,  either  Politick  or  Military — the 
Custom  House  duties  and  recognition  excepted — except  that  it 
might  please  their  High  and  Mighty  Lords  the  States  General  to 
resolve  on  any  new  general  tax  Item — That  they  shall  not  be  amena- 
ble before  any  inferior  Courts  of  Justice,  but  shall  be  prosecuted 
before  the  Chief  Magistrate,  and  farther,  that  they  shall  not  be 
obliged  to  attend  any  training,  nor  maintain  any  soldiers,  neither  to 
supply  any  necessaries  of  war — except  what  they  voluntarily  shall 
contribute  for  the  defence  of  the  aforesaid  Island  and  Governor  in 
a  time  of  danger  against  any  foreign  invasion  or  troubles  with  the 
savages,  all  which  aforesaid  liberties  and  immunities  annexed  to  the 
possession  of  aforesaid  Island  are  by  this  again  confirmed  to  the 
aforesaid  Sylvester  and  his  posterity — besides  the  liberty  of  con- 
science and  all  other  privileges  and  immunities  as  shall  be  granted 
to  all  other  subjects  under  this  Government. 
"Done  fort  William  Hendrick, 
29  Aug.,  1673." 

Nathaniel  Sylvester  has  now  become  sole  owner  of  Shelter 
Island.  Shortly  after  the  Dutch  were  again  forced  to  surrender  the 
Colony  of  New  York  to  the  English,  but  before  doing  so  the  Dutch 
Governor  sent  a  ship  with  fifty  soldiers  to  Shelter  Island  to  collect 
the  amount  of  the  bond  that  Nathaniel  Sylvester  had  given. 

In  his  will,  dated  1679,  Mr.  Sylvester  tells  how  these  soldiers 
landed  on  Shelter  Island,  surrounded  his  house  and  compelled  him 
to  pay  this  amount  of  five  hundred  pounds  sterling.  The  Sylvesters 
have  now  lived  twenty-two  eventful  years  on  this  island  and  become 
the  sole  proprietors.  During  these  years  the  Lord  has  prospered 
them  materially,  numerically  and  spiritually.  The  sugar  trade  has 
proved  to  be  very  lucrative,  and  the  two  earnest  souls  of  Nathaniel 
and  Grissel  Sylvester  have  been  blessed  with  eleven  children,  six 
sons  and  five  daughters,  named  Giles,  Nathaniel,  Constant,  Peter, 


7  2  Slieltcr  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

Benjamin,  Joshua,  Grissel,  Patience,  Eliza,  Ann  and  Mercy. 
Two  of  the  daughters,  Grissel  and  Patience,  are  said  to  have  been 
very  handsome  women.  Both  of  them  had  very  romantic  court- 
ships, Grissel  at  first  being  engaged  to  a  wealthy  young  English- 
man named  Latimer  Sampson,  chief  proprietor  of  what  is  now 
known  on  Long  Island  as  Loyd's  Neck.  Mr.  Sampson,  being 
seized  with  consumption,  died  before  their  marriage,  leaving  all  his 
possessions  by  will  to  his  intended.  Miss  Grissel  Sylvester.  This 
was  in  1674.  Two  years  later  she  married  James  Loyd,  of  Boston, 
and  became  the  progenitor  of  a  distinguished  line  of  descendants. 

Patience  Sylvester  became  the  wife  of  Benjamin  L'Hommedieu, 
an  exiled  Huguenot.  Their  meeting  and  courtship  is  so  sweetly 
told  by  Mrs.  Martha  J.  Lamb,  in  her  article  entitled,  "The  Manor  of 
Shelter  Island,"  that  I  shall  make  use  of  her  language  in  telling  it, 
namely:  "The  marriage  of  Patience  Sylvester,  the  sister  of  Mrs. 
Lloyd,  was  also  an  exceptionally  romantic  afifair.  Among  the  exiled 
Huguenots  of  the  period  was  Benjamin  L'Hommedieu,  who  settled 
in  Southold.  There  being  no  church  on  Shelter  Island,  the  Syl- 
vester family  were  accustomed  to  attend  Sabbath  worship  in 
Southold.  One  pleasant  Sunday  morning  soon  after  his  arrival, 
L'Hommedieu  was  attracted  by  an  extremely  novel  object  moving 
over  the  sparkling  waters  of  the  bay.  As  it  came  nearer  he  ob- 
served two  remarkably  handsome  young  women  in  a  barge  with  a . 
canopy  over  it,  and  six  negro  slaves  rowing  it.  The  vision  haunted 
him.  He  went  to  church  that  morning,  and  despite  Puritanical 
customs,  permitted  his  eyes  to  remain  open  during  prayers.  The 
story  is  so  like  every  other  love  story  that  it  is  hardly  necessary  to 
say  that  his  French  heart  was  hopelessly  lost  before  the  preacher 
had  reached  'Amen'  in  his  benediction.  The  sequel  was  a  beautiful 
wedding,  and  Miss  Patience  Sylvester  was  henceforward  Mrs. 
L'Hommedieu."  She  and  her  husband  were  likewise  blessed  with 
a  remarkable  progeny.  The  third  daughter,  Eliza,  married  Jona- 
than Brown,  of  this  island.  Of  the  sons  three  died  without  issue, 
leaving  their  inheritance  of  the  island  to  Giles,  the  eldest  son,  so 
that  in  time  Giles  became  the  owner  of  four-fifths  of  the  island, 
the  other  fifth  being  inherited  by  the  second  son,  Nathaniel,  who 
at  this  time  lived  in  Newport,  R.  I.  And  now  we  come  to  the 
obituary  note  of  Capt.  Nathaniel  Sylvester,  the  first  white  settler 
on  the  island,  and  whose  relation  to  the  memory  and  place  is  of  such 
lasting  interest  to  us.     This  truly  good  and  noble  soul  passed  away 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  ■23 

in  1680.  What  we  have  been  able  to  learn  of  him  justifies  the  high 
eulog-y  that  is  chiselled  into  the  stone  erected  to  his  memory  by  the 
Horsford's  in  the  old  cemetery  upon  their  estate,  and  which  reads  as 
follows:  "To  Nathaniel  Sylvester,  First  Resident  proprietor  of  the 
Manor  of  Shelter  Island,  under  Grant  of  Charles  II,  A.  D.  1666. 
An  Englishman  intrepid.  Loyal  to  Duty,  Faithful  to  friendship. 
The  soul  of  integrity  and  Honor,  Hospitable  to  Worth  and  Cul- 
ture, Sheltering  ever  the  persecuted  for  conscience  sake." 

We  turn  now  to  another  family,  which  likewise  became  promi- 
nent in  the  history  of  this  island.  I  refer  to  the  Nicoll's  family.  The 
date  of  this  family's  appearance  in  America  is  1664,  and  the  occa- 
sion and  person  through  whom  the  family  came  to  the  New  World 
was  Matthias  Nicoll,  brother  of  Col.  Richard  Nicoll,  commander 
of  the  expedition  sent  out  by  the  Duke  of  York  to  take  possession 
of  New  Amsterdam,  Long  Island  and  other  territory.  Upon  the 
capture  of  New  York  and  the  assumption  of  the  Governorship  of  the 
Colony  by  Col.  Richard  Nicoll,  Matthias  Nicoll  was  appointed  by  his 
brother,  the  Governor,  secretary  of  the  colony  and  member  of  the 
Governor's  council.  He  was  also  appointed  a  judge  of  the  Court 
of  Sessions,  and  in  1672  became  the  first  Mayor  of  New  York.  He 
was  then  a  very  prominent  and  influential  citizen  in  the  early  history 
of  this  country.  He  died  in  the  latter  part  of  1687.  One  son  at 
least  survived  him,  named  William,  who  it  is  presumed  by  the  his- 
torian Thompson,  was  born  in  England,  and  came  over  when  a  boy 
with  his  father  in  1664,  as  in  1683  "^^  was  appointed  the  first  Clerk  of 
Queens  County,  which  position  he  held  until  1688.  He  was  highly 
educated,  choosing  the  profession  of  law,  in  which  he  became  very 
prominent,  being  one  of  the  ablest  lawyers  of  the  New  York  bar. 
Col.  Richard  Nicoll  was  succeeded  in  the  Governorship  by  Col. 
Lovelace  in  1667.  Col.  Lovelace's  term  was  brought  to  a  sudden 
end  by  the  appearance  of  the  Dutch  and  their  retaking  of  New  York 
in  1673.  While  under  the  Dutch  rule  Anthony  Color  was  Governor. 
Then  came  the  restoration  again  to  English  rule,  bringing  with  it 
the  appointment  of  Edmund  Andros  as  Governor.  He  continued 
until  1683,  when  Col.  Thomas  Dougan  was  commissioned  by  the 
Duke  of  York  to  act  as  Governor.  During  the  term  of  Gov. 
Dougan  Charles  II  died  in  1685.  His  brother,  the  Duke  of  York, 
succeeded  him,  taking  the  title  of  James  II.  He  immediately  re- 
voked the  powers  which  had  been  given  to  former  governors  to  call 
assemblies  in  which  the  people  were  to  have  a  voice  in  the  govern- 


34  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

ment  of  the  colonies,  and  determined  that  the  governors  should 
rule  solely  by  his  direction  and  instructions.  All  the  colonies  of 
New  England  now  came  under  the  King's  power,  including  New 
York,  And  over  all  these  Sir  Edmund  Andros  was  appointed  ruler 
or  Governor,  with  authority  to  appoint  deputy  or  lieutenant  gov- 
ernors in  each  colony.  Under  this  power  Sir  Edmund  Andros  ap- 
pointed Francis  Nicholson  Governor  of  New  York.  This  order  of 
things  continued  until  April,  1689,  when  news  having  reached 
America  that  James  II  had  been  driven  from  the  throne  by  the 
English,  and  that  William  and  Mary  had  been  proclaimed  rulers  of 
England,  the  people  of  Massachusetts  arose  against  Andros,  seized 
him,  and  after  a  period  of  confinement  sent  him  to  England.  This 
happened  at  Boston.  At  New  York  the  people  likewise  arose,  led 
by  one  Jacob  Leisler,  who  seized  the  fort  and  had  himself  proclaimed 
Governor  under  the  pretence  of  holding  the  government  for  William 
and  Mary  until  their  properly  authorized  representative  appeared 
and  took  command.  This  Leisler  was  an  adventurer,  seeking  more 
his  own  personal  ends  than  those  of  his  superiors.  William  Nicoll 
therefore  opposed  him,  and  because  of  this  opposition,  he  with 
others  who  had  the  courage  and  honesty  to  take  such  a  stand,  were 
put  in  prison.  They  remained  in  confinement  until  the  arrival  of 
Gov.  Sloughter,  in  March,  1691,  when  they  were  released.  Leisler 
was  brought  to  trial,  and  William  Nicoll,  whom  he  had  imprisoned, 
was  appointed  one  of  the  King's  councillors  to  conduct  the  prosecu- 
tion. The  result  of  the  trial  was  a  verdict  of  high  treason,  for  which 
Leisler  suffered  death.  Mr.  Nicoll  was  subsequently  appointed  by 
Gov.  Sloughter  a  member  of  the  Governor's  Council.  Four  years 
later,  in  1695,  he  was  sent  to  England  by  the  Colonial  Assembly  on 
an  important  mission,  for  which  service  the  Assembly  allowed  him 
$1,000.  In  1698  he  again  suffered  imprisonment  for  a  short  time  at 
the  hands  of  the  Earl  of  Bellamont,  who  had  been  appointed  Gov- 
ernor and  who  was  of  the  same  character  as  Leisler.  In  1701  he 
was  elected  a  member  of  the  Colonial  Assembly  from  this  county, 
but  not  being  a  resident  of  the  county  he  was  not  allowed  to  take 
his  seat.  He  then  moved  into  the  county,  taking  up  his  residence 
at  Islip,  where  he  owned  an  immense  tract  of  land  of  9,000  acres. 
He  was  again  elected  to  the  Assembly  in  1702,  and  continued  a  mem- 
ber of  that  body  until  his  death  in  1723.  For  the  most  of  the  time 
he  was  Speaker  of  the  House,  until  failing  health  forced  him  to 
resign  this  high  ofBce  in  1718.     Altogether  he  served  in  the  Assem- 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  35 

bly  twenty-one  years,  and  as  Speaker  for  sixteen  years.  He  was  a 
mighty  man;  fearless,  patriotic  and  able,  enjoying  in  unbounded 
measure  the  confidence  and  esteem  of  the  people. 

In  early  life  he  married  the  daughter  of  Jeremias  and  Maria  Van 
Rensselaer,  of  New  York.  He  left  a  number  of  children,  one  of 
whom  became  as  distinguished  as  himself.  In  1695  William  Nicoll 
bought  of  Giles  Sylvester  one-fourth  of  his  estate,  equal  to  one- 
fifth  of  the  whole  of  Shelter  Island.  Upon  the  death  of  Giles  Syl- 
vester in  1704,  who  died  without  issue,  Mr.  Nicoll  inherited  from 
Mr.  Sylvester  another  fourth  of  his  estate,  which  made  him  owner 
of  two-fifths  of  Shelter  Island.  It  was  thus  that  the  Nicoll's  be- 
came proprietors  of  Sachem's  Neck,  which  has  remained  in  the 
family  until  this  day.  Mr.  William  Nicoll  was  buried  at  Islip,  and 
over  his  grave  was  placed  a  monumental  tablet  with  this  inscription : 
"Sacred  to  the  memory  of  William  Nicolls.  Hospitality,  charity 
and  good  will  toward  his  fellow  man,  were  the  marked  characters 
of  his  life;  and  a  perfectly  resigned  submission  to  the  will  of  his 
Creator  distinguished  the  sincere  Christian  at  the  hour  of  death, 
which  took  place  Nov.  20,  1723.     Ae  64." 

Now,  my  friends,  I  have  pursued  the  history  of  this  island  thus 
far,  and  the  career  of  this  William  Nicoll  with  peculiar  delight. 
And  that  because  of  the  coincidences  and  connections  that  exist 
between  my  former  charge  at  Newtown  and  my  present  charge  here 
on  Shelter  Island.  Both  communities  had  their  birth  in  the  same 
year,  namely,  1652,  and  both  were  settled  by  Englishmen  of  Puritan 
principles.  Both  experienced  the  vicissitudes  of  the  period  thus  far 
covered  of  a  little  more  than  fifty  years.  But  that  which  above  all 
binds  the  two  together  is  the  following,  which  is  particularly  pleasing 
to  me.  The  same  year  in  which  William  Nicoll  took  his  seat  in 
the  Assembly  and  became  Speaker  of  the  House,  namely,  1702,  Lord 
Cornbury  was  appointed  Governor  of  the  Colony  of  New  York. 
This  appointment  he  received  as  a  reward  from  His  Majesty  King 
William  for  espousing  his  cause  in  the  overthrow  of  King  James 
II.  Now  this  Lord  Cornbury  was  a  man  most  obnoxious  to  the 
people,  according  to  several  historians.  "His  sense  of  justice,"  says 
Thompson,  "was  as  weak  as  his  bigotry  was  uncontrollable. 
Nor  was  there  a  Governor  of  New  York  so  universally  detested  or 
so  deserving  of  abhorrence."  When  he  became  Governor,  being  an 
Episcopalian,  he  endeavored  to  force  Episcopacy  upon  the  people, 
confiscating  their  church  property,  annulling  their  ordinances  and 


36  S licit cr  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

otherwise  by  bigotry,  despotism,  injustice  and  insatiable  avarice  op- 
pressed and  aroused  the  people.  Among  the  congregations  that 
suffered  most  was  the  Presbyterian  Church  at  Newtown,  my  former 
beloved  charge. 

He  seized  that  church  and  took  possession  of  it.  At  Jamaica  he 
did  a  despicable  thing  in  taking  the  parsonage  of  the  Presbyterian 
minister,  Mr.  Hubbard,  which  Mr.  Hubbard  tendered  him  during  an 
epidemic  in  the  City  of  New  York,  Mr.  Hubbard  thereby  putting 
himself  to  considerable  trouble  and  inconvenience  for  the  Governor's 
accommodation.  In  return  for  his  kindness  he,  Cornbury,  when 
leaving  the  place,  delivered  it  into  the  hands  of  Episcopal  parties, 
at  the  same  time  directing  the  sheriff  to  confiscate  the  parsonage 
land  and  church  building.  He  then  appointed  Mr.  Urquhart  as 
rector  of  Jamaica,  Newtown  and  Flushing,  and  at  about  the  same 
time  issued  an  order  prohibiting  other  ministers  from  preaching 
within  the  bounds  of  his  province  without  special  license  from  him- 
self, an  entirely  illegal  and  unwarrantable  usurpation  of  the  rights  of 
the  people,  since  the  Duke  of  York  had  publicly  decreed  the  right 
to  every  town  of  selecting  its  own  minister.  In  these  and  many 
other  ways  this  tyrannical  Governor  made  the  years  of  his  rule  a  time 
of  great  trial.  And  here  I  quote  from  a  previous  historical  dis- 
course delivered  at  Newtown  as  follows:  "Before  this  oppression 
Rev.  Robert  Breck  had  to  flee.  Others  who  followed  him  in  preach- 
ing here  (that  is  in  Newtown)  were  put  in  prison.  In  1707  Rev. 
John  Hampton  and  the  Rev.  Francis  Makemie,  who  were  on  their 
way  to  New  England  from  the  South,  stopped  at  New  York.  Upon 
invitation  of  the  people  of  Newtown  these  two  Presbyterian  clergy- 
men visited  the  place  to  preach  to  them.  What  happened  to  them 
can  best  be  stated  from  the  records  known  as  the  "Narrative  of  Im- 
prisonment," dated  Jan.  23d,  1707.  "The  Rev.  John  Hampton,  an 
itinerant  minister,  preached  on  Sunday,  Jan.  20th,  in  the  Presbyterian 
Church,  Newtown,  without  having  first  procured  a  license  from 
Gov.  Cornbury,  and  also  gave  notice  that  Rev.  Francis  Makemie 
would  ofificiate  there  on  Wednesday.  But  Gov.  Cornbury,  antici- 
pating them,  had  them  both  arrested  as  soon  as  they  reached  New- 
town, by  Thomas  Carsdale,  High  Sheriff  of  Queens  County,  and 
Stephen  Luff,  Under  Sheriff.  They  were  kept  as  prisoners  on 
parole  at  the  houses  of  two  of  the  neighbors  that  night.  The  next 
day  they  were  led  off  in  a  sort  of  triumph  to  Jamaica,  seven  or  eight 
miles  out  of  the  direct  road,  and  there  kept  all  day  and  night.     On 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  37 

the  23d,  at  noon,  they  got  to  the  Fort  in  New  York.  After  vexa- 
tion and  delays  they  were  tried  for  dissenting  doctrines  to  the  great 
disturbance  of  the  Church  by  law  established.  The  jury,  however, 
acquitted  them,  but  the  Governor  took  his  spite  against  them  in 
imposing  a  long  bill  of  costs  upon  them,  £83  7s  6d,  over  four  hun- 
dred dollars,  which  they  had  to  pay  before  they  were  released.  Liv- 
ingston, writing  shortly  after  this  injustice,  wrote:  "If  any  want  in- 
formation concerning  sulTering  of  other  dissenters,  both  in  persons, 
estates  and  religious  liberties,  I  recommend  them  to  the  body  of 
inhabitants  of  Jamaica  and  Newtown." 

And  here  let  me  say  that  it  gives  me  unspeakable  pleasure  to 
be  able  to  state  to  you  that  in  the  progress  of  preparing  this  his- 
torical review  I  have  discovered  who  was  by  his  able  plea  so  largely 
instrumental  in  gaining  the  verdict  of  acquittal  for  Revs.  Hampton 
and  Makemie.  That  person  was  William  Nicoll,  to  whom  Giles 
Sylvester  bequeathed  such  a  large  portion  of  Shelter  Island.  For 
this  notable  service  I  here  publicly  salute  his  descendants  and  invoke 
God's  special  blessing  to  rest  upon  them;  and  in  blessing  them  may 
God  likewise  bless  you  all. 


■2  8  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 


CHAPTER    III. 

The  second  section  of  our  historical  paper  on  Shelter  Island 
and  the  Presbyterian  Church  closed  with  a  courteous  acknowledg- 
ment of  the  signal  service  which  William  Nicoll  rendered,  in  es- 
pousing the  cause  of  Revs.  Makemie  and  Hampton  against  Lord 
Cornbury's  persecution,  and  brought  our  review  down  to  the  year 
1704,  the  year  in  which  the  said  William  Nicoll  came  by  inheritance 
into  possession  of  Sachem's  Neck. 

We  now  have  cause  to  mention  another  family  who  about  that 
time  came  upon  this  island,  the  members  and  descendants  of  which 
,  became  very  prominent  in  the  life  of  this  place,  and  of  great  service 
y  to  our  church.  I  refer  to  the  Havens  family.  About  1698  Na- 
thaniel Sylvester  the  2d  sold  1,000  acres  to  Geo.  Havens.  After  dis- 
posing of  this  land  the  said  Nathaniel  Sylvester,  having  married 
Miss  Margaret  Hobert,  daughter  of  Isaiah  Hobert,  of  East  Hampton, 
moved  with  his  family  to  Newport,  R.  I.,  where  he  engaged  in 
business  as  a  merchant.  The  1,000  acres  which  Mr.  Havens  bought 
of  Mr.  Sylvester  covered  all  the  central  portion  of  the  island,  in- 
cluding the  ground  now  belonging  to  our  church.  Though  most 
of  this  purchase  has  passed  into  other  hands,  eighty-five  acres  still 
remain  in  the  Havens  family,  being  owned  at  present  by  Henry  P. 
Havens,  who  is  of  the  seventh  generation  in  continuous  possession, 
a  direct  descendant  of  the  first  George  Havens.  This  George 
Havens  was  the  son  of  William  Havens,  a  Welshman,  who  came  to 
America  about  the  year  1635  and  settled  on  Conanticut  Island,  near 
Newport,  R.  I.  Upon  making  the  foregoing  purchase,  Mr.  George 
Havens  moved  to  this  island  with  his  family,  which  consisted  of  him- 
self, a  wife  and  seven  chidren,  three  sons  and  four  daughters.  Be- 
sides these  children  there  was  another  son  named  George,  who  did 
not  move  with  the  family  to  Shelter  Island,  but  continued  to  live  in 
Rhode  Island,  as  the  following  abstract  of  a  deed  indicates,  namely: 
"For  good  and  sufficient  reasons  I  have  and  bear  to  my  loving  son, 
George  Havens,  of  Kingstowne  in  ye  Narrowgansett  Country,  have 

given  to  my  said  son  George  Havens for  ever, 

if  my  said  son  George  shall  goe  and  live  on  said 

land  hereinafter  granted,  that  is  too  say  two  hundred  and  fifty  acres 
of  my  farm  on  Shelter  Island. 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  ^o 

Dated  Oct.,  in  ye  13  year  of  his  Majy's  reigne,  Anno  Domini, 
1701.  GEORGE  HAVENS." 

It  is  presumed  that  this  son  did  not  improve  this  ofifer,  as  his 
will  is  dated  from  Fisher's  Island,  Oct.  31,  1726.  Mr.  George 
Havens,  Sr.,  continued  to  reside  here  until  his  death,  in  1706. 

While  visiting  the  ancient  burying  ground  of  New  London, 
Conn.,  this  past  summer,  in  search  of  certain  epitaphs,  I  accidentally 
came  upon  the  grave  and  tombstone  of  Mr.  George  Havens,  the  first 
Havens  of  Shelter  Island.  I  had  searched  and  inquired  for  it  in  all 
directions,  but  without  success.  One  can  therefore  imagine  the 
surprise  and  pleasure  that  was  mine  when  the  above  discovery  was 
made.  The  grave  can  be  easily  found  by  those  interested,  as  it  is 
marked  by  a  small  brown  stone  headstone,  with  the  following  in- 
scription upon  it:  "George  Havens,  who  deceased  Feb.  25,  1706,  ae 
53  y'rs." 

His  wife  survived  him  and  married  again  a  Mr.  Thomas  Terry, 
of  Southold.  She  lived  to  the  great  age  of  93,  passing  away  in  1747, 
and  was  buried  in  the  south  church  yard,  where  a  suitable  stone 
with  clear  inscription  stands  to  her  memory. 

And  thus  the  community  continued  to  grow,  both  from  natural 
increase  and  accretion,  until  in  1730,  there  were  twenty  men, 
most  of  them  heads  of  families,  residing  on  this  island.  Their  names 
were  as  follows:  William  Nicoll,  John  Havens,  Samuel  Hudson, 
George  Havens,  Elisha  Payne,  Joel  Bowditch,  Abraham  Parker,  Ed- 
ward Havens,  Samuel  Vail,  Thomas  Conkling,  Edward  Gilman, 
Brinley  Sylvester,  Jonathan  Havens,  Joseph  Havens,  Noah  Tuthill, 
Sylvester  L'Hommedieu,  Henry  Havens,  Samuel  Hopkins,  John 
Bowditch,  Daniel  Brown. 

These  men  organized  Shelter  Island  into  a  municipality  of  its 
own,  and  are  therefore  the  Founders  of  the  Town  of  Shelter  Island. 
Up  to  this  date,  1730,  our  Island  met  with  Southold  in  its  Annual 
Town  Meetings.  J.  Wickham  Case,  compiler  of  the  Southold  Town 
Records,  says  that  in  its  earliest  stages  Shelter  Island  associated  itself 
with  Southold,  so  far  as  to  recognize  their  books  as  the  proper  place 
for  the  record  of  deeds  and  valuable  papers,  and  to  meet  (but  not  to 
vote)  with  them  at  their  Annual  Town  Meeting.  Shelter  Island, 
however,  as  we  have  already  seen,  was  placed  on  the  same  footing  "as 
any  other  town,  unfranchised  place  or  manor  within  this  govern- 
ment," as  early  as  May,  1666,  by  Governor  Nicoll.  In  1683,  when 
the  Province  and  its  dependencies  was  divided  oflF  into  Shires  and 


Ao  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

Counties  in  response  to  an  act  bearing  the  date  of  2d  Nov.,  1683, 
Shelter  Island  was  again  officially  set  off  as  a  Township  of  Suffolk 
County.  Still  it  was  not  fully  organized  into  a  town  by  the  selec- 
tion of  town  officers;  perhaps  because  there  were  so  few  male  in- 
habitants of  full  age  living  at  that  time  on  our  Island.  But  in  1730 
it  was  commanded  by  an  act  of  the  General  Assembly  of  the  Province 
of  New  York,  dated  12th  of  July,  1729,  to  choose  its  first  public  offi- 
cials. This  act  was  entitled  as  follows:  "To  ascertain  the  allowance 
to  the  Representatives  for  the  county  of  Suffolk  and  for  other  pur- 
poses therein  mentioned."  In  the  fourth  clause  of  wdiich  we  read: 
"And  be  it  further  enacted  by  the  same  authority  that  from  and  after 
the  Publication  of  this  act,  it  shall  and  may  be  lawful  for  the  In- 
habitants of  Shelter  Island,  in  the  County  of  Suffolk,  and  they  are 
hereby  impowered  and  required,  annually  on  the  first  Tuesday  in  the 
month  of  April,  to  elect  and  chuse  among  them  two  Asessors  and  a 
Collector,  to  assess  and  collect  such  Taxes  as  shall  be  now  or  here- 
after laid  or  imposed  on  them,  and  a  Constable  and  Supervisor  for 
keeping  the  Peace  and  auditing  their  Public  Accounts  at  the  Time 
the  County  of  Suffolk  shall  do,  by  virtue  of  this  Act." 

In  response  to  that  commandatory  act  of  the  Colonial  Assem- 
bly, it  met  the  following  year  for  the  first  time  in  a  Town  meeting 
of  its  own,  as  the  following  record,  the  first  that  appears  upon  our 
Town  records,  will  show:  "Suffolk  County,  Precinct  of  Shelter 
Island,  7th  April,  1730.  At  a  meeting  held  at  the  said  place  and 
time,  the  inhabitants  of  this  said  precinct  proceeded  and  chose  ac- 
cording to  an  act  of  the  Gen'l  Assembly  made  in  the  Province  of 
New  York  in  the  third  year  of  the  Reign  of  King  George  the  Second 
over  Great  Britain,  &c.,  as  followeth,  viz.: 

William  Nicoll,  Supervisor. 

John  Havens,       ) 

r,  T-T  V  Assessors. 

Samuel  Hudson,  j 

Edward  Havens,  Collector. 

Edward  Oilman,  Constable." 

I  have  deemed  it  important  to  fix  if  possible  the  antecedents  of 
these  twenty  men,  who  were  the  founders  of  our  town,  and  have  de- 
voted a  great  deal  of  labor  to  this  matter,  with  the  following  results. 
We  will  begin  with: 

I.  WILLIAM  NICOLL,  who  was  chosen  to  be  the  first  Super- 
visor of  the  Town.     He  was  the  second  son  of  William  Nicoll,  and 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  41 

is  known  as  William  Nicoll  the  second,  also  in  history  as  Speaker 
Nicoll.  He  was  born  in  1702,  and  graduated  with  his  brother,  Ben- 
jamin, from  Yale  College  in  1724.  Like  his  father,  he  was  edu- 
cated for  the  bar,  and  became  an  eminent  lawyer,  continuing  his  legal 
practice  after  taking  up  his  residence  on  Sachem's  Neck,  somewhere 
about  1726.  His  father  died  in  1723  and  bequeathed  him  all  of  his 
estate  located  on  this  island.  He  then  removed  to  this  island,  where 
he  became  the  representative  or  foremost  man  of  the  Town,  serving 
as  Supervisor  for  ten  years.  In  1739  he  w-as  elected  to  the  Colonial 
Assembly,  like  his  father  before  him,  and  continued  to  serve  until  his 
death,  in  1768,  a  period  of  twenty-nine  years,  during  the  last  nine  of 
which  he  served  as  Speaker  of  the  House.  Thus  our  first  Super- 
visor was  a  very  distinguished  man,  an  eminent  statesman,  reflecting 
no  small  honor  upon  Shelter  Island,  which  continued  to  be  his  home 
until  his  death,  which  came  to  him  suddenly  at  a  house  on  the 
Hempstead  Plains  Dec.  3d,  1768,  as  he  was  returning  from  his  public 
duties.  Thompson  says:  "He  was  a  man  of  sound  and  discrimi- 
nating mind,  bold  and  fearless  as  a  politician,  and  an  unwavering 
asserter  of  the  rights  and  liberties  of  the  colony.  In  all  public  acts 
as  a  legislator  he  was  diligent  and  attentive  to  every  duty  devolving 
upon  him."  And  Wood  says  in  his  history  "that  he  resembled  his 
father  in  his  political  sentiments,  and  was  a  decided  friend  of  the 
rights  of  the  colonies.  He  is  supposed  to  have  concurred  in  the 
addresses  to  the  King,  lords  and  commons,  respectively,  which  were 
adopted  by  the  Assembly  in  1764  and  1765,  and  which  he  signed  as 
their  Speaker.  These  addresses  abound  with  patriotic  sentiments. 
In  that  of  1764  they  say  that  Tt  would  be  the  basest  vassalage  to 
be  taxed  at  the  pleasure  of  a  fellow  subject."  In  that  of  1765  they 
say  that  "An  assumption  of  power  by  the  British  Parliament  to  tax 
the  colonies,  if  asquiesced  in  or  admitted,  would  make  them  mere 
tenants  at  will  of  his  majesty's  subjects  in  Britain." 

This  William  Nicoll,  dying  without  issue,  left  his  estate  on  this 
island  to  a  son  of  his  brother  Benjamin,  also  named  William  Nicoll, 
commonly  called  "Clerk  Nicoll,"  because  he  served  as  County  Clerk 
for  twenty-six  years,  being  the  last  Clerk  of  the  County  under  the 
Colonial  Government.  He  not  only  succeeded  his  uncle  in  the  pos- 
session of  the  Nicoll  estate  on  Shelter  Island,  but  was  also  chosen  to 
succeed  him  in  the  Assembly,  and  continued  to  serve  in  that  body 
until  it  was  dissolved  in  consequence  of  the  Revolution.  This  is  in- 
deed a  remarkable  thing,  that  three  William  Nicolls  should  succeed 


42  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

each  other,  not  only  as  the  owners  of  that  estate,  but  as  representa- 
tives in  the  Assembly,  the  first  William  Nicoll  serving  twenty-one 
years,  and  as  Speaker  for  sixteen  years  of  the  time;  the  second 
William  Nicoll  for  twenty-nine  years,  and  as  Speaker  for  nine  years 
of  the  time,  and  the  third  William  Nicoll  for  nine  years,  or  until  the 
Colonial  Assembly  was  dissolved.  Truly  Shelter  Island  can  refer 
with  pride  to  her  first  Supervisor. 

/  2.  JOHN  HAVENS,  one  of  the  first  two  assessors  of  our  Town, 

was  the  fourth  son  of  George  Havens  and  Eleanor  Thurston,  and 
married  a  lady  whose  given  name  was  Sarah.  He  was  elected  Town 
Assessor  in  1730,  1734,  1739  and  1744,  and  Overseer  of  the  Poor  in 
1735,  1737  and  1743.  In  1744  he  moved  to  the  Town  of  Brookhaven 
with  his  family,  where  he  became  an  extensive  land-owner  and  the 
progenitor  of  a  large  family.     He  died  in  1750. 

3.  SAMUEL  HUDSON,  the  second  of  the  first  two  Assessors 
of  our  Town,  was  the  son  of  Jonathan  and  Sarah  Hudson.  His 
parents  came  from  Lyme,  Conn.,  to  Shelter  Island.  Samuel  Hud- 
son married  Grissel  L'Hommedieu,  daughter  of  Benjamin  and  Pa- 
tience L'Hommedieu,  and  granddaughter  of  the  original  settler  of 
this  island,  Mr.  Nathaniel  Sylvester.  Mr.  Hudson  served  as  County 
Clerk  of  Suffolk  County  from  1722  to  1730,  and  in  1746,  with  his 
brother  Jonathan,  joined  Capt.  James  Fanning's  company  of  volun- 
teers and  served  in  the  expedition  against  Canada.  He  died  Oct. 
I2th,  1781. 

y  4.  EDWARD  HAVENS  was  the   son  of  George  and   Mary 

Havens,  of  Fisher's  Island.  His  father  was  the  eldest  son  of  the 
George  Havens  who  purchased  the  1,000  acres  of  Nathaniel  Syl- 
vester. Very  little  is  known  of  this  Edward  Havens,  save  that  he 
married  Desire  Terry  in  1724.  He  was  the  first  Collector  of  the 
Town.  His  name  appears  but  once  on  the  Town  records,  namely, 
in  1730. 

5.  EDWARD  GILMAN.  Of  this  person  we  know  the  least  of 
all  the  twenty.  Though  we  have  searched  in  every  direction,  nothing 
has  been  found  concerning  him.  The  name  "Gilman"  does  not  ap- 
pear in  this  region  on  any  record  save  our  own.  The  will  of  Joseph 
Moore,  of  Southampton,  dated  March  21,  1723,  speaks  of  a  daughter- 
in-law,  "Sarah  Gilman." 

6.  GEORGE  HAVENS  was  the  son  of  George  and  Mary 
Havens,  of  Fisher's  Island,  and  brother  to  Edward  Havens.  He 
married  Mary  and  had  a  son  named  George,  to  whom. 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  45 

with  his  mother,  letters  of  administration  were  granted  in  1734,  the 
father  and  husband  having  died  the  previous  year. 

7.  ELISHA  PAYNE  was  the  son  of  CorneHus  and  Constant 
(Havens)  Payne.  His  father  in  1698  bought  200  acres  of  land  on 
this  island  from  Giles  Sylvester.  At  that  time  he  lived  on  Gardiner's 
Island,  as  a  husbandman.  Upon  becoming  a  landowner  here  he 
moved  to  this  island,  for  in  a  bond  of  Giles  Sylvester,  dated  27th 
June,  1699,  ^^^  ^s  spoken  of  as  a  "yeoman  of  Shelter  Island."  Elisha 
Payne  served  the  Town  as  Constable  and  Collector  in  1740  and  1748 
respectively.  In  1748  he  married  Deliverance  Tuthill,  and  died  in 
1761,  leaving  a  widow  and  several  children.  (See  census  list  of 
1771.) 

8.  SYLVESTER  L'HOMMEDIEU  was  the  son  of  Benjamin 
and  Patience  L'Hommedieu,  of  Southold.  He  married  Elizabeth 
More,  and  was  the  father  of  Samuel  L'Hommedieu,  a  distinguished 
citizen  of  Sag  Harbor,  at  one  time  a  member  of  the  Assembly. 
Sylvester  L'Hommedieu  served  as  Collector  and  Constable  in  1732. 
He  died  March  9,  1788,  and  lies  buried  in  the  church  yard  at 
Southold,  L.  I. 

9.  HENRY  HAVENS  was  the  oldest  son  of  John  and  Sarah 
Havens.  My  information  is  derived  from  the  will  of  John  Havens, 
of  Brookhaven,  in  which  he  bequeathed  to  his  oldest  son  Henry  370 
acres  of  land  on  Shelter  Island.  The  date  of  the  will  is  1749.  This 
Henry  Havens  married  Abigail  Tuthill,  sister  of  Noah  Tuthill,  one 
of  the  Town  fathers.  His  father,  John  Havens,  as  has  been  already 
mentioned,  moved  to  Brookhaven  about  the  year  1745.  Henry 
Havens  was  a  town  officer  for  over  ten  years. 

10.  THOMAS  CONKLING  was  the  son  of  John  and  Sarah 
(Horton)  Conkling,  of  Southold,  L.  I.,  a  descendant  of  one  of  the  first 
settlers  of  that  ancient  town.  In  1732  he  married  Rachel  Moore,  by 
whom  he  had  five  children.  His  youngest  son,  Benjamin,  was  the 
gentleman  who  at  his  death  in  1826  bequeathed  a  large  sum  of 
money  to  our  church.  Thomas  Conkling  served  the  Town  in  the 
various  positions  as  Assessor,  Constable  and  Overseer  of  the  Poor, 
from  1739  to  1761.     He  died  in  1782  at  the  ripe  age  of  eighty-seven. 

11.  JONATHAN  HAVENS  was  the  second  son  of  George  and 
Eleanor  (Tliurston)  Havens,  born  at  Jamestown,  R,  I.,  Feb.  22, 
1 68 1.  L^pon  attaining  his  majority  his  father  gave  him  200  acres 
of  his  property  on  this  island.  In  1707  he  married  Hannah  Brown, 
daughter   of   Jonathan    and    Eliza    Sylvester    Brown,    and    grand- 


A  A  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

daughter  of  the  fist  Nathaniel  Sylvester,  by  whom  he  had  ten  chil- 
dren. He  was  an  Assessor  of  the  Town  for  twelve  years,  Overseer 
of  the  Poor  two  years,  and  Supervisor  one  year.  Mr.  Havens  died 
Aug.  5th,  1748,  in  the  sixty-eighth  year  of  his  age,  and  lies  buried  in 
the  south  church-yard. 

12.  JOSEPH  HAVENS  was  the  son  of  Jonathan  Havens  and 
Hannah  Brown.  According  to  his  tombstone  in  the  south  church- 
yard he  was  born  in  1714.  He  was  twice  married.  His  first  wife 
was  Madam  Mary  Watts,  a  lady  of  refinement.  She  died  in  1768. 
In  1769  he  married  Jemima  Glover,  by  whom  he  had  one  son. 
Father,  mother  and  son  all  passed  away  in  a  few  years.  Mr.  Havens 
was  Constable  and  Collector  of  the  Town  in  1737.  He  afterwards 
moved  into  the  town  of  Southampton,  from  whence  his  will  is  dated. 

13.  NOAH  TUTHILL  was  the  third  son  of  Deacon  Daniel 
and  Mehetable  (Horton)  Tuthill,  born  in  Orient,  L.  I.  The  Tut- 
hills  and  the  Hortons  were  among  the  first  settlers  of  Southold, 
and  their  descendants  are  legion.  Noah  Tuthill  married  a  relation 
by  the  name  of  Hannah  Tuthill.  Many  of  his  descendants  live 
among  us  to-day.  He  was  a  Town  officer  for  several  years.  He 
died  in  1766,  and  is  supposed  to  have  been  buried  in  the  family 
burying  ground  upon  the  Tuthill  homestead  in  Orient. 

14.  JOEL  BOWDITCH.  Who  he  was  the  son  of  or  whence 
he  came  we  cannot  positively  tell.  But  it  is  presumed  that  he  came 
to  Shelter  Island  from  the  region  of  Sag  Harbor.  A  Joel  Bow- 
ditch  is  mentioned  by  Judge  Hedges  in  his  "History  of  East  Hamp- 
ton" as  a  resident  of  that  Town  from  1704  to  1718.  In  171 8  an 
Abigail  Bowditch  married  Nathan  Fordham,  of  Sag  Harbor.  She 
had  a  grandchild  named  "Joel."     Joel  Bowditch,  the  subject  of  this 

sketch,  married  Ruth and  had  several  children.     He  was 

the  progenitor  of  the  Bowditch's  who  live  among  us,  and  served  as 
Town  officer  for  many  years,  or  until  his  death,  in  1746. 

15.  JOHN  BOWDITCH.  What  is  said  about  Joel  Bowditch 
applies  equally  as  well  to  this  man,  as  far  as  his  parentage  is  con- 
cerned. It  is  presumed  that  he  was  the  son  of  Joel  Bowditch.  We 
cannot  tell  whether  he  ever  married;  it  is  rather  doubtful  that  he 
ever  did.  His  name  appears  but  once  among  the  Town  officers, 
under  date  of  1738,  when  he  was  chosen  Constable  and  Collector. 

16.  SAMUEL  HOPKINS  was  the  son  of  William  and  Rebecca 
Hopkins,  of  this  place,  a  direct  and  close  descendant  of  Stephen 
Hopkins  and  Giles  Hopkins,  two  of  the  immortal  Mayflower  pil- 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  4c 

grims,  being  the  great-grandson  of  the  former  and  grandson 
of  the  latter.  According  to  the  inscription  upon  his  tomb- 
stone at  Miller's  Place,  Samuel  Hopkins  was  born  on  Shelter  Island 
about  1710.  His  father  moved  to  Shelter  Island  about  1680,  and 
in  time  became  a  man  of  considerable  property.  In  an  account 
book  of  William  Hopkins,  the  following  names  appear  between  the

Samuel  Hopkins  was  a  carpenter  and  mason.  From  1743  until 
1756  he  lived  at  Wading  River.  In  1757  he  bought  property  at 
Millers  Place  and  moved  there,  and  made  it  his  home  until  his  death, 
in  1790.     In  1733  he  served  this  Town  as  Constable  and  Collector. 

17.  ABRAHAM  PARKER.  We  cannot  tell  definitely  who 
were  the  parents  of  Abraham  Parker.  He  is  said  to  have  been 
born  in  Yorkshire,  England.  Several  Parkers  lived  on  this  island 
prior  to  the  organization  of  the  Town.  As  early  as  1698  a  Nathaniel 
Parker  appears  as  a  witness  on  the  deed  of  Giles  Sylvester  to  Cor- 
nelius Payne.  In  1701  a  Daniel  Parke  appeared  in  the  same  ca- 
pacity on  the  deed  of  George  Havens  to  Jonathan  his  son.  Abra- 
ham Parker  married  probably  twice.  His  first  wife  was  Sarah  Hud- 
son, daughter  of  Jonathan  and  Sarah  Hudson.  His  second  wife 
was  Mary  Hudson,  the  widow  of  Jonathan  Hudson,  who  was  brother 
to  his  first  wife.  He  served  as  Collector  and  Constable  in  1731,  as 
Assessor  in  1736,  and  as  Overseer  of  the  Poor  in  1738  and  1742.  He 
died  in  March,  1768. 

18.  DANIEL  BROWN  was  the  son  of  Daniel  and  Frances 
(Watson)  Brown,  born  Nov.  15,  1710.  His  great-grandparents, 
Chad  and  Elizabeth  Brown,  came  from  England  in  the  ship  "Mar- 
tin," which  arrived  at  Boston  in  July,  1638.  The  same  year  they 
moved  to  Providence,  R.  I.,  where  Chad  Browne  was  one  of  the 
original  proprietors  of  the  Providence  purchase.  In  1642  he  was 
ordained  the  first  settled  pastor  of  the  Baptist  church.  The  children 
of  Chad  and  Elizabeth  Brown  were  sons  John,  James,  Jeremiah, 


46  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

Judah  or  Chad,  and  Daniel.  Their  daughters  were  Mary,  Deborah 
and  Phebe.  Jeremiah,  the  third  son,  was  twice  married,  his  second 
wife  being-  Mary  (Havens)  Cook,  widow  of  Thomas  Cook  and 
daughter  of  the  first  WilHam  Havens.  His  son  Daniel,  who  married 
Frances  Watson,  was  the  father  of  the  subject  of  this  sketch.  Like 
his  grandfather,  Jeremiah  Browne,  our  Daniel  Brown  married  twice, 
his  second  wife  likewise  being  named  Mary  Havens,  whom  he  mar- 
ried Dec.  21,  1735,  and  by  whom  he  had  a  large  family.  He  was 
Supervisor  of  this  Town  for  twenty  years.  In  1747  he  enlisted  in 
the  First  Battalion  (foot)  under  Capt.  James  Fanning,  to  go  against 
Canada.  In  1775  and  '76,  at  the  outbreak  of  the  American  Revo- 
lution, he  was  a  member  of  the  First,  Second  and  Third  Provincial 
Congresses.  These  and  other  items  show  him  to  have  been  a  man  of 
great  importance  in  the  community;  one  highly  esteemed  and 
greatly  trusted  by  his  fellow  men. 

19.  SAMUEL  VAIL  was  the  son  of  John  and  Grace  Vail,  ac- 
cording to  Moore's  Index.  His  grandfather  was  also  named  John 
Vail,  and  was  the  first  person  by  the  name  in  this  country,  coming 
from  Wales.  In  1723  Samuel  Vail  married  Hannah  Petty.  He  was 
also  in  time  a  Town  officer,  serving  as  Constable  and  Collector  in 
1735  and  as  Overseer  of  the  Poor  in  1741.  About  this  date  he 
moved  with  his  family  to  Orange  County  and  settled  in  what  is 
called  the  West  Division  of  Goshen.  Many  of  his  descendants  are 
living  in  that  region  at  the  present  time.  No  genealogical  record 
of  the  descendants  of  Samuel  Vail  has  been  attempted  by  the  writer 
of  this  book,  as  a  genealogy  of  the  "Vail"  family  is  in  existence, 
gathered  together  by  the  late  Mr.  Alfred  Vail.  It  is  deposited  in 
the  New  York  Genealogical  and  Biographical  Library,  and  can 
there  be  consulted  by  those  interested. 

20.  BRINLEY  SYLVESTER  was  the  son  of  the  second  Na- 
thaniel Sylvester  and  Margaret  Hobert,  of  Easthampton,  L.  I., 
where  he  was  born  Nov.  28th,  1694.  He  married  Mary  Burroughs, 
daughter  of  Thomas  Burroughs,  of  New  York,  at  Southold,  Dec. 
2d,  1718,  the  Rev.  Geo.  Phillips  officiating.  He  lived  for  awhile 
at  Newport,  R.  I.,  whither  his  father  had  moved,  upon  disposing 
of  1,000  acres  to  George  Havens,  and  engaged  in  business  as  a 
merchant.  This  left  the  father  with  comparatively  little  land  on 
this  island.  His  possessions,  however,  were  vastly  increased  upon 
the  death  of  his  brother  Giles,  in  1704,  who  bequeathed  to  him  of 
his  estate  an  amount  of  land  equal  in  extent  to  two-fifths  of  the 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  47 

island.  This,  together  with  what  he  had  retained,  made  him  owner 
of  about  one-half  of  Shelter  Island.  Upon  the  death  of  his  father, 
Brinley  Sylvester,  having  inherited  the  large  family  estate  on  this 
island,  moved  from  Rhode  Island  to  this  place,  where  he  re- 
sided till  his  death  in  1752.  Upon  coming  to  this  island  Brinley 
Sylvester  set  about  improving  the  property.  The  original  manor 
house  he  displaced  by  a  more  imposing  mansion,  built  in 
1733.  It  is  said  that  when  he  was  building  this  new  house, 
which  was  the  largest  structure  of  its  kind  in  the  three 
counties  of  Long  Island,  it  occasioned  much  talk  among  his 
puritan  friends,  and  the  raising  of  it  was  made  a  great  affair  for 
those  days,  Mrs.  Brinley  Sylvester  coming  from  the  west  end  of 
Long  Island  to  see  it.  Much  of  the  interior  work,  such  as  the  cor- 
nices, panels,  wainscoting,  and  the  like,  was  executed  in  England, 
while  that  which  was  serviceable  of  the  prior  homestead,  such  as 
the  doors,  sashes,  tiles,  etc.,  were  worked  into  the  new  building. 
That  house  is,  as  you  know,  still  standing  and  well  preserved,  though 
now  over  a  hundred  and  sixty  years  old,  and  in  some  of  its  parts 
spans  the  whole  period  of  the  settlement  of  this  island,  that  is,  two 
hundred  and  forty-five  years.  In  it  Brinley  Sylvester  lived  like  a 
lord,  far  exceeding  all  his  predecessors  in  the  grandeur  of  his  living. 
He  presided  over  his  rich  and  extensive  estate  with  great  dignity, 
being  a  gentleman  of  polished  manners,  scholarly  in  his  tastes  and 
generous  to  a  fault.  For  more  than  twenty  years  he  held  public 
office  in  this  town,  sometimes  discharging  the  duties  of  several 
offices  together.  During  this  time  he  was  also  one  of  the  Associate 
Justices  of  the  Court  of  General  Sessions.  He  likewise  acted  as 
Surrogate  of  the  County,  the  will  of  John  Gardiner,  the  third  pro- 
prietor of  Gardiner's  Island,  being  admitted  to  probate  before  him 
on  the  1st  of  August,  1738.  As  yet  there  being  no  church  on  the 
island,  he  with  his  family  attended  divine  service  at  Southold,  going 
all  the  way  by  water  in  a  handsome  barge  rowed  by  four  well  matched 
negroes.  Mrs.  Sylvester,  his  wife,  used  to  wear  on  such  occasions 
a  silk  velvet  mantle  inwrought  with  gold,  and  sometimes  the  ven- 
erable clergyman,  Mr.  Youngs,  would  say,  "I  am  afraid  you  are 
proud  of  your  fine  barge  and  rich  dress,  Mrs.  Sylvester."  "Oh,  no, 
sir,"  she  answered.  "If  there  is  anything  I  am  proud  of  it  is  the 
fine  linen  I  make."  Mr.  Brinley  Sylvester  kept  a  chaplain  in  his 
family  in  the  person  of  the  Rev.  William  Adams.  His  family  con- 
sisted of  himself,  his  wife  and  two  daughters,   named   Mary  and 


48  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

Margaret.  Mr.  Sylvester  was  a  man  of  ardent  piety,  a  communicant 
of  the  church  at  Southold.  He  did  much  for  rehgion  on  this  island, 
as  will  be  seen  later  on,  and  at  his  death  left  £100  sterling  for  the 
maintenance  of  religion  on  this  island,  the  interest  of  which  was  to 
be  expended  in  the  support  of  a  regular  orthodox  Presbyterian  min- 
ister. His  funeral  was  conducted  by  the  Rev.  William  Throop, 
pastor  of  the  Southold  church,  the  sermon  then  delivered  being 
afterwards  printed  in  Boston.  His  body  was  at  first  buried  in  the 
Sylvester  burying  ground,  and  afterwards  moved  to  the  private 
cemetery  in  the  rear  of  this  church,  where  an  appropriate  monument 
is  erected  to  his  memory.  In  the  death  of  this  distinguished  Chris- 
tian gentleman  the  name  of  Sylvester  became  extinct  on  this  island. 

To  recapitulate  what  I  have  now  written  of  the  founders  of  the 
Town.  It  will  be  seen  that  six  of  the  twenty  men  bore  the  name  of 
Havens.  These,  as  one  would  suppose,  were  related  to  each  other. 
Two  of  them  were  sons  and  the  rest  grandsons  of  George  and 
Eleanor  Havens.  They  were  all  born  in  America,  and  two  of  them 
on  this  island.  To  these  six  men  several  of  the  remainder  of  our 
Town  fathers  were  also  related  through  marriage,  namely,  Noah 
Tuthill,  Elisha  Payne,  William  Nicoll  and  Daniel  Brown.  Of  the 
rest  Abraham  Parker,  Samuel  Hudson,  Sylvester  L'Hommedieu 
and  Brinley  Sylvester  were  related  to  each  other,  the  last  three 
being  grandsons  of  our  first  settler,  Nathaniel  Sylvester.  Then  too 
it  is  thought  that  Joel  and  John  Bowditch  were  father  and  son,  while 
of  the  remainder  Samuel  Hopkins  bore  the  proud  distinction  of  being 
a  direct  and  close  descendant  of  the  Mayflower  Pilgrims.  The  an- 
cestors of  these  men  who  were  our  Town  fathers  were  English, 
Welsh,  and  in  one  instance  French.  All,  except  in  one  instance,  as 
far  as  is  known  were  born  in  this  country,  and  a  number  of  them 
on  this  island.  They  were  sturdy  men,  men  of  intelligence,  and  not 
a  few  of  them,  men  of  renown.  They  were  lovers  of  liberty,  of 
virtue,  of  piety,  ready  to  respond  to  their  country's  call,  full  of  en- 
terprise, industry  and  zeal;  men  who  in  every  respect  were  worthy 
to  be  the  founders  of  our  Town.  We  do  well  to  cherish  their 
memory  and  imitate  their  virtues. 

Thus  far  our  history  has  been  solely  occupied  with  the  settlement 
of  this  place  and  its  development  into  a  Town,  a  period  covering 
eighty  years  or  more.  Now  we  come  to  the  time  when  there  first 
appeared  something  like  a  religious  society  on  this  island,  and  then 
onlv  in  the  outward  or  material  form  of  a  meeting:  house  or  church

building.  The  absence  of  such  a  place  of  worship  for  these  many 
years  was  not  because  the  inhabitants  lacked  religious  life  and  con- 
victions, for,  as  Dr.  Woolworth  said  in  his  dedicatory  sermon, 
"From  the  beginning  of  the  settlement  of  this  island  there  were  not 
wanting  such  individuals  among  its  inhabitants  as  feared  God,  pro- 
fessed His  name  and  manifested  a  commendable  concern  and  zeal 
for  His  sacred  cause.  The  population  was,  however,  for  a  long  time 
so  inconsiderable  that  no  exertions  were  made  for  the  introduction 
of  regular  public  worship  among  them.selves.  Those  who  were 
seriously  disposed  attended  the  churches  in  the  vicinity  of  the  island. 
This  was  the  state  of  things  until  the  early  part  of  the  last  century, 
when  a  decent  house  of  public  worship  was  erected."  And  thus  it 
was  that  the  building  of  a  sanctuary  was  so  long  delayed.  Now,  how- 
ever, steps  were  taken  towards  the  erection  of  a  house  of  God,  a 
place  of  worship.  This  was  in  1732,  as  the  following  copy  of  a  sub- 
scription paper  will  show: 

"We  whos  names  are  hereunto  subscribed  haveing  the  Interests 
of  Our  Common  Lord  at  heart  and  being  willing  to  Contribute 
for  the  promoting  and  Incouraging  the  Cause  and  Interest  of 
Religion  upon  Shelter  Island,  and  Considering  ye  Small  num- 
ber of  the  Inhabitants  do  Covenant  and  promise  to  pay  or  Cause 
to  be  paid  the  Several  Sums  Affixed  to  our  names  to  Brinley 
Sylvester  or  Order  at  or  before  the  first  day  of  January  next 
ensuing  the  Date  hereof,  for  the  erecting,  building  and  Com- 
pleating  a  Meeting  house  for  the  publick  worship  of  Almighty 
God  and  not  otherwise.  In  witness  whereof  we  have  Set  to  our 
names  to  Geather  with  ye  Several  Sums  annexed  this  19th  Day 
of  August  Anno  Dom.,  1732."

How  soon  the  purpose  was  accomplished  it  is  hard  to  tell, 
since  different  dates  by  different  writers  have  been  given.  Thomp- 
son, in  the  first  edition  of  his  "History  of  Long  Island,"  says:  "The 
first  church  was  erected  by  the  Presbyterians  in  1733,  the  funds  for 
defraying  the  expenses  of  which  were  collected  upon  the  island  and 
the  adjacent  towns."  In  his  second  edition,  however,  published  some 
four  years  later  than  the  first,  greatly  enlarged  and  far  more  cor- 
rect, he  changes  the  foregoing  statement  and  makes  it  read  thus: 
"The  first  meeting  house  was  completed  in  1743,  and  remained  until 
1816,  when  the  present  church  was  erected  on  the  same  site."  He 
precedes  this  statement  with  another,  which  goes  to  show  that  the 
latter  date  is  the  correct  one.  That  foregoing  statement  is  to  the 
effect  that  in  1742  Jonathan  Havens,  Jr.,  gave  a  half  acre  of  ground 
near  the  middle  of  the  island  for  the  setting  of  a  meeting  house  and 
for  a  burying  ground,  and  the  next  year,  in  1743,  he  associated  with 
others  in  erecting  a  building  for  religious  worship,  and  to  accom- 
plish their  benevolent  design  contributions  were  solicited  in  the 
neighboring  towns,  and  even  in  the  cities  of  New  York  and  Boston. 
Dr.  Prime,  who  wrote  an  ecclesiastical  history  of  Long  Island,  and 
which  appeared  two  years  later  than  Dr.  Thompson's  second  edi- 
tion, the  purpose  of  which,  as  its  title  would  imply,  brought  him 
into  closer  touch  with  church  history  here  and  elsewhere,  for  which 
reason  we  may  believe  it  the  more  reliable  in  ecclesiastical  matters, 
confirms  in  general  the  second  date  of  Thompson.  He  says:  "It  is 
difficult  to  ascertain  the  exact  date  of  the  erection  of  the  first  house 
of  worship,  but  it  is  supposed  to  have  been  somewhere  near  the 
middle  of  the  last  century."  He  further  adds  that  it  was  built  under 
the  supervision  of  Brinley  Sylvester,  who  was  the  principal  pro- 
prietor of  the  island.  All  this  goes  to  confirm  the  latter  date  of 
1743  as  the  correct  one,  being  nearer  to  the  middle  of  the  last  cen- 
tury than  1733,  and  further,  being  the  year  following  the  one  in 
which  the  donor  of  the  land,  Jonathan  Havens,  Jr.,  set  apart  his 
gift  for  the  purpose  of  "setting  a  meeting  house  and  for  a  burying 
ground.  And  since  this  is  the  date,  I  am  inclined  to  believe  that 
the  effort  set  on  foot  in  1732  was  accomplished  in  1743.  Perhaps 
the  completion  of  the  purpose  was  hastened  toward  the  end  by  the 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  ^l 

great  revival  which  spread  over  the  eastern  end  of  Long  Island 
during  the  decade  of  1740,  for  it  is  well  known  that  a  great  religious 
awakening  makes  a  community  sensible  of  its  religious  needs,  which 
most  generally  finds  its  expression  in  the  erection  of  a  sanctuary  or 
in  the  renovation  of  the  same. 

Regarding  that  original  meeting  house  of  Shelter  Island,  built 
over  one  hundred  and  fifty  years  ago,  there  are  still  those  living  in 
our  midst  who  remember  it  with  afifection.  Its  shape  was  quad- 
rangle, with  a  quadrangle  roof,  by  which  is  meant  that  its  dimensions 
were  the  same  on  all  four  sides,  and  that  its  roof  slanted  upward 
and  inward  from  all  four  sides,  meeting  in  the  center,  the  whole 
perhaps  surmounted  by  a  cupola.  It  has  been  described  as  "a. 
small  square  building  with  four  roofs  meeting  at  a  point."  Some 
of  its  furnishings,  such  as  the  pulpit,  sounding  board,  stairs  and  a 
few  of  its  pews  were  brought  from  the  Rutgers  street  church  in  New 
York.  The  building,  according  to  Rev.  Mr.  Lord,  was  mainly 
owned  by  the  proprietors  of  the  island,  who  held  the  sole  and  ex- 
clusive right  of  the  pews.  It  stood  on  this  very  spot  where  we  now 
worship  until  the  beginning  of  this  present  structure,  when  it  was 
moved  to  the  eastward,  where  the  parsonage  now  stands,  being 
there  used  while  the  new  house  of  worship  was  being  erected,  after 
which  it  was  again  moved  to  the  westward,  near  the  middle  of  the  lot 
opposite  the  grist  mill,  where  it  served  the  purpose  of  a  sheepfold 
until  time  and  decay  had  completed  its  destruction.  Rev.  Mr.  Lord, 
in  his  historical  sermon  of  1856,  speaks  of  it  thus:  "The  place  where 
it  stood  and  its  whole  aspect  rises  up  before  me  in  vivid  recollection. 
It  was  a  house  every  way  worthy  of  Goldsmith's  Deserted  Village, 
always  abating  its  dimensions.  It  was  old  and  of  narrow  accom- 
modations. A  quadrate  building  with  a  quadrate  roof.  It  was  at 
the  time  of  its  erection  probably  equal  to  the  wants  of  the  people, 
but  at  the  time  of  which  I  am  speaking  the  tooth  of  time  had  made 
such  inroads  upon  it  that  it  gave  unmistakable  evidence  of  decay.  It 
had  one  semblance  at  least  to  the  sanctuary  of  which  the  Psalmist 
speaks:  'In  it  the  sparrow  hath  found  an  house,  and  the  swallow  a 
nest  for  herself,  where  she  may  lay  her  young.'  Among  the  first 
ministers  to  ofBciate  in  the  building  was  the  Rev.  William  Adams, 
who  occupied  the  position  of  chaplain  to  Mr.  Brinley  Sylvester  and 
his  family,  having  his  home  in  the  Manor  House.  Mr.  Adams,  at 
the  time  of  his  coming  to  this  island,  was  a  young  man  of  twenty- 
seven  years  of  age,  the  son  of  the  Rev.  Eliphalet  Adams,  of  Con- 


52  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

necticut,  and  a  graduate  of  Yale  in  1730.  Upon  graduation — I 
quote  from  the  Annals  of  the  American  Pulpit — he  became  a  tutor 
for  two  years,  after  which  a  preacher  of  more  than  sixty  years.  He 
was  never  married  nor  ordained,  as  he  declared  he  would  not  be 
"encumbered  either  with  a  wife  or  a  parish."  He  first  preached  in 
the  North  Parish  of  New  London,  now  known  as  Montville,  and  later 
in  North  Groton,  now  called  Ledyard,  after  the  withdrawal  of  the 
Rev.  Ebenezer  Punderson.  In  1735  he  decHned  a  unanimous  call 
from  the  latter  parish.  In  January,  1737,  he  began  to  preach  in 
Guilford,  and  continued  there  until  he  came  to  this  island,  presuma- 
bly in  the  latter  part  of  that  year,  and  here  he  continued  until  Mr. 
Brinley  Sylvester's  death  in  1752.  The  next  year,  in  October  of 
1753,  his  father  died.  He  was  then  invited  to  supply  the  vacant 
pulpit  of  New  London,  which  he  did  until  February,  1756.  In  1758 
he  began  to  preach  at  Orient,  and  continued  there  tmtil  1760.  In 
that  year  Mr.  Thomas  Bering,  having  moved  with  his  family  upon 
the  estate  of  his  wife,  Mrs.  Mary  Sylvester  Bering,  he  resumed  his 
residence  in  the  manor  house  as  private  chaplain,  and  continued  in 
this  relation  until  the  breaking  out  of  the  Revolution,  when  Mr. 
Bering  had  to  take  refuge  with  his  family  within  the  American  lines. 
Altogether  he  is  said  to  have  labored  here  for  more  than  thirty 
years.  He  was  here  when  the  great  evangelist  Whitefield  visited 
the  island  in  1764.  His  latter  years  were  spent  in  New  London, 
chiefly  in  social  enjoyment  and  domestic  repose.  He  frequently 
rambled  into  the  country  on  visits  to  the  farmers  belonging  to  the 
parish,  and  always  made  it  a  point  on  such  occasions  to  communicate 
more  or  less  religious  instruction.  He  was  short  and  stout,  wore  a 
white  wig  and  a  cocked  hat,  and  usually  walked  about  the  streets 
dressed  in  a  black  study  gown.  He  was  a  respectable  preacher,  but 
in  nowise  eminent.  He  has  left  one  sermon  in  printed  form, 
preached  on  the  day  of  Thanksgiving  for  the  success  of  the  British 
arms  in  the  reduction  of  Montreal  and  the  Conquest  of  Canada  in 
1760.     He  died  September  25th,  1798,  in  the  88th  year  of  his  age. 

While  occupying  the  position  of  chaplain  to  the  Sylvesters,  Rev. 
Mr.  Adams  likewise  fulfilled  the  duties  of  preacher  and  pastor  to 
the  community.  This  is  established  by  the  following  paper,  which  is 
in  substance  a  call  to  Mr.  Adams  extended  by  the  citizens  of  this 
place  to  become  their  pastor: 

"We  the  Inhabitance  of  Shelter  Island  in  Suffolk  County,  In  the

This  paper,  drawn  up  evidently  by  the  same  hand  that  drew  up 
the  subscription  paper  of  1732,  is  in  the  handwriting  of  Mr.  Brinley 
Sylvester,  so  that  both  papers  can  be  said  to  have  had  Mr.  Sylvester 
as  their  author.  This  call  to  the  Rev.  William  Adams  for  his  pas- 
toral services  bears  the  date  of  the  first  day  of  April,  Anno  Dom. 
1746."  The  following  April  the  Presbytery  of  Long  Island  met  by 
commission  in  this  place,  as  the  following  extract  of  the  Presbytery's 
minutes  will  show: 

"Shelter  Island,  April  21,  1747.  Met  according  to  the  order 
and  appointment  of  Presbytery  in  the  preceding  session.  Messrs. 
Nathaniel  Mather,  Silvanus  White  and  Samuel  Buell,  to  communi- 
cate to  each  other  the  Sentiments  and  Dispositions  of  their  par- 
ticular Churches  relative  to  Presbyterian  Government  as  exhibited 

in  the  Plan  of  our  Covenanted  Union Upon  representation 

then  made  it  appeared  hopefull  that  most  of  the  Churches  on  the 
east  end  of  Long  Island  would  comply  with  and  submit  to  Presby- 
terian Government." 

On  June  11,  1766,  the  Presbytery  of  Long  Island  held  a  most 
important  meeting  on  this  island.  It  was  for  the  express  purpose 
of  ordaining  a  young  man  to  the  ministry  of  our  Lord  and  Saviour 
Jesus  Christ.     This  is  such  an  important  event  in  the  life  of  this 


54  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

people  that  I  embody  entirely  so  much  of  Presbytery's  minutes 
as  apply  to  it,  and  which  is  as  follows 

"Met  according  to  adjournment  at  Shelter  Island,  June  nth, 
1766.  Present,  Messrs.  Prime,  Buell,  Lewis,  Barker,  Brown,  Tall- 
madge.  Goldsmith,  Paine  and  Rosse.  Absent,  Messrs.  Mills,  Reeve 
and  Occam.  Correspondents  were  the  Rev.  Messrs.  Charles  Jeffry, 
Smith  and  Abner  Brush.  Elder,  James  Reeve.  Mr.  Tallmadge 
moderator  and  Mr.  Rosse  chosen  clerk. 

"P.  P.  S.  Q.  S.  Ordered  that  the  minutes  of  the  last  Sederunt 
be  read.  Mr.  Elam  Potter  exhibited  to  the  Presbytery  Three  sev- 
eral sermons,  composed  from  Texts  of  Scripture  before  given.  And 
the  Presbytery  proceeded  to  further  examination.  Adjourned  to 
to-morrow  morning  8  o'clock. 

"P.  P.  S.  Q.  S.  Ordered  the  minutes  of  the  last  Sederunt  be 
read.  Referred  the  examination  of  Mr.  Potter,  and  proceeded  so 
far  as  to  obtain  satisfaction.  Appointed  his  ordination  at  one 
o'clock,  P.  M.  Attended  in  the  following  order — Mr.  Lewis  intro- 
duced the  solemnity  by  prayer,  Mr.  Buell  preached  from  James  v:  20, 
Mr.  Brown  took  the  engagements  of  the  Candidate  and  his  pro- 
fession of  Faith  as  exhibited  in  our  public  standards  of  Orthodoxy; 
Mr.  Smith  prayed  at  the  laying  on  of  Hands,  Mr.  Tallmadge  gave 
the  right  hand  of  Fellowship,  and  Mr.  Prime  the  charge.  Mr.  Pot- 
ter pointed  out  the  Psalm  and  pronounced  the  blessing." 

And  thus  on  this  island  was  one  ordained  to  the  gospel  ministry. 
It  must  have  been  a  memorable  occasion,  one  that  is  worthy  of  a 
permanent  place  in  the  history  of  this  island  and  church. 

So  far  as  I  know  this  has  been  the  only  instance  of  ordination  on 
our  island.  May  it,  however,  not  stand  alone  very  long,  but  be 
followed  by  many  others  of  the  sons  of  this  church,  several  of  whom 
are  now  preaching  the  blessed  gospel  of  the  Son  of  God.  In  many 
respects  the  Rev.  Elam  Potter  proved  himself  a  workman  skilled  in 
his  high  ofBce.  The  year  after  his  ordination  he  went  on  an  ex- 
tended missionary  tour  southward,  and  on  his  return  he  became 
pastor  of  the  Congregational  Church  in  Enfield,  Conn.,  from  1769 
to  April,  1776.  In  November,  1792,  he  was  settled  over  the  Pres- 
byterian Church  at  Southold,  where  he  remained  until  his  death, 
in  1794.  His  remains  were  buried  in  the  church-yard  of  that  place, 
and  over  his  grave  was  raised  a  brownstone  slab  bearing  the  follow- 
ing epitaph: 

"Beneath  this  dust  lie  the  remains  of  the  Rev.  Elam  Potter, 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 


55 


a  faithful  good  minister  of  Jesus  Christ.     He  died  Jany  5th,  age  52, 
in  the  year  1794: 

Forbear  to  weep  my  loving  friends, 
Death  is  the  voice,  Jehovah  sends 

To  call  us  to  our  home. 
Through  these  dark  shades  from  pain  redrest 
Is  the  right  path  to  endless  rest 
Where  joys  immortal  bloom." 

Mr.  Potter  was  the  son  of  Daniel  Potter,  and  was  born  in  East 
Haven,  Conn.,  Jan.  ist,  1741-42.  He  graduated  from  Yale  College 
in  1765.  In  a  printed  sermon  of  his,  bearing  date  of  Enfield,  Sept. 
12,  1777,  there  appears  this  closing  note,  in  the  form  of  an  address: 
"To  the  whole  land.  My  Countrymen  and  Brethren,  I  beseech  you 
for  the  Lord's  sake,  put  away  the  Negro  Slavery;  abhor  all  jesting 
with  God's  holy  Word;  submit  to  the  glorious  Immanuel,  and  let 
us  honor  Him,  that  we  may  be  happy  in  His  favour."  May  all  who 
read  these  gracious  words  heed  them  so  far  as  they  apply  to  present 
conditions. 

In  the  biographical  sketch  of  the  Rev.  William  Adams  mention 
was  made  of  Mr.  Thomas  Dering  moving  with  his  family  to  Shelter 
Island  for  the  purpose  of  settling  upon  the  estate  which  his  wife 
had  inherited  from  her  father,  Mr.  Brinley  Sylvester.  In  the  coming 
of  this  Mr.  Dering  to  this  place  there  came  a  gentleman  who  proved 
himself  indeed  a  worthy  successor  of  the  Sylvesters. 

Through  the  kindness  of  Mrs.  Mary  S.  D.  Lawrence,  a  great- 
grand-daughter  of  Mr.  Thomas  Dering,  I  am  able  to  give  the  follow- 
ing biographical  sketch  of  his  life: 

"Mr.Thomas  Dering  was  the  son  of  Henry  and  Elizabeth  Dering. 
He  was  born  at  Boston,  Mass.,  May  i6th,  1720,  also  the  birthplace 
of  his  father,  who  was  a  merchant  in  that  city.  Thomas  Dering 
was  educated  for  a  merchant,  and  upon  the  death  of  his  father,  which 
occurred  in  1750,  he,  with  his  only  brother,  Henry,  became  the  suc- 
cessor of  his  father  until  he  removed  to  this  island.  On  March  9th. 
1756,  he  married  Mary  Sylvester  at  Newport,  R.  I.,  whither  Mr. 
Brinley  Sylvester  had  moved  temporarily,  for  the  education  of  his 
daughters.  They  were  married  by  the  Rev.  Ezra  Styles,  afterwards 
President  of  Yale  College.  In  the  year  1760,  and  after  the  birth  of 
three  children,  Mr.  Dering  moved  with  his  family  to  this  place,  occu- 
pying the  Sylvester  mansion  and  grounds,  which  his  wife  had  in- 
herited upon  the  death  of  her  father.     He  now  began  the  life  of  a 


c5  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

farmer,  becoming  successfully  engaged  in  the  pursuit  of  the  various 
branches  of  agriculture.  He  was  a  man  who  loved  the  society  of 
refined  and  religious  people,  one  who  counted  it  a  privilege  to  enter- 
tain them.  In  return  he  enjoyed  in  an  eminent  degree  the  respect 
and  esteem  of  a  large  circle  of  friends;  especially  was  he  favored 
with  the  friendship  and  correspondence  of  distinguished  clergymen, 
as  appears  from  letters  still  in  the  possession  of  his  descendants. 
Among  these  were  the  following:  Rev.  George  Whitefield,  under 
whose  preaching  in  Boston  it  is  supposed  he  was  first  awakened  to 
a  saving  knowledge  of  the  truth;  Rev.  Charles  Jefifry,  of  Brook- 
haven;  Rev.  Ebenezer  Prime,  of  Huntington,  whose  first  wife  was  a 
Sylvester;  Rev.  Dr.  Samuel  Buel,  of  East  Hampton;  Rev.  James 
Brown  and  Rev.  Dr.  Aaron  Woolworth,  of  Bridgehampton;  Rev. 
Mr.  Barker,  of  Aquebogue,  with  whom  he  placed  his  son  Sylvester 
at  the  age  of  ten  years  for  the  study  of  Latin,  and  the  Rev.  Enoch 
Huntington,  of  Middletown,  Conn.,  near  whom  Mr.  Dering  lived 
during  the  period  of  the  Revolution  while  Shelter  Island  was  in 
the  possession  of  the  British.  Indeed,  the  large  mansion  he  occu- 
pied seems  ever  to  have  been  the  welcome  home  and  favorite  resort 
of  clergymen  of  various  denominations,  not  only  during  his  resi- 
dence, but  also  during  that  of  his  father-in-law  before  him,  and  of 
his  son  Sylvester  Dering  after  him.  Having  passed  from  the  active 
duties  of  a  merchant  to  the  retirement  of  a  farmer,  he  had  ample  time 
in  which  to  cultivate  the  fellowship  of  his  numerous  friends,  among, 
whom,  being  a  man  of  piety,  he  prized  the  most  that  of  clergymen. 
Besides  this  he  maintained  a  numerous  correspondence  with  men  in 
various  parts,  most  of  them  being  residents  of  Boston,  which  about 
this  time  was  the  cradle  of  Liberty.  These  kept  him  well  informed 
concerning  the  events  of  the  day,  and  through  this  touch  with  the 
movements  towards  liberty  his  mind  became  strongly  biased  towards 
Whig  principles  and  the  independence  of  the  colonies.  Among 
these  correspondents  was  a  lady  named  Miss  Hepzibah  Small, 
whose  letters  were  most  graphically  written.  At  the  breaking  out 
of  the  difficulties  between  the  colonies  and  the  mother  country,  Mr. 
Dering  took  a  decided  stand  for  Liberty.  In  May,  1776,  he  was 
chosen  a  delegate  to  the  New  York  Provincial  Convention,  which 
assembled  at  White  Plains  in  July  of  that  year,  and  which  unani- 
mously adopted  the  Declaration  of  Independence  as  passed  by  the 
Provincial  Congress  at  Philadelphia,  July  4th,  1776,  whereupon  the 
convention  assumed  the  title  of  the  Representatives  of  the  State  of 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  57 

New  York.  In  this  body  Mr.  Bering  served  forty  days,  or  until 
the  British,  by  the  battle  of  Long  Island,  obtained  possession 
thereof,  when  he  asked  for  leave  of  absence  to  look  after  his  family 
and  remove  them  to  a  place  of  security.  He  decided  to  remove 
to  Middletown,  Conn.,  whither  he  went  in  September,  1776, 
and  the  convention  adjourned  before  he  was  able  to  return.  Mr. 
Bering  was  also  elected  a  member  of  the  convention  to  form  a 
constitution  for  the  State  of  New  York  in  1777,  which  convention 
met  at  Fishkill.  It  is  believed,  however,  that,  owing  to  the  state  of 
his  health  he  did  not  attend.  He  remained  in  Middletown,  Conn., 
until  the  restoration  of  peace,  in  1783,  when  he  returned  to  his  estate 
on  this  island.  He  had  four  children,  three  sons,  Henry  S.,  who 
died  in  infancy,  Sylvester  and  Henry  Packer,  and  one  daugh- 
ter, named  Elizabeth.  On  his  return  to  Shelter  Island  he  found 
that  great  depredations  had  been  committed  upon  his  wood- 
lands while  the  island  was  in  the  possession  of  the  British.  It 
is  estimated  that  3,300  cords  of  wood  had  been  cut  and  taken 
away  by  the  order  of  Lord  Percy  and  Gen.  Clinton  for  the 
use  of  the  troops  and  ships  stationed  at  Rhode  Island  under  their 
command.  For  this  damage  no  remuneration  was  ever  made. 
With  the  active  aid  of  his  sons  he  again  resumed  the  pursuits  of  agri- 
culture, but  was  not  destined  long  to  enjoy  the  blessings  by  which 
he  was  surrounded,  as  a  protracted  illness  caused  by  paralysis  termi- 
nated his  mortal  existence  Sept.  26th,  1785,  in  the  65th  year  of  his 
age.  His  remains  lie  buried  in  the  private  cemetery  in  the  rear  of 
the  church." 

Among  the  clergymen  whose  acquaintance  he  enjoyed  was  the 
mighty  evangelist  Whitefield.  This  renowned  preacher  of  right- 
eousness is  said  to  have  made  Mr.  Bering's  home  his  headquarters 
while  visiting  the  eastern  towns  of  Long  Island,  in  1764.  Buring 
his  stay  upon  the  island  he  preached  twice  to  its  inhabitants,  once  in 
the  meeting  house  and  once  in  the  grove  near  the  manor  house. 
He  so  enjoyed  Mr.  Bering's  hospitality  and  his  visit  while  here  that 
he  wrote  him  two  letters  so  full  of  high  regard  and  affection  that  I 
herewith  give  them  to  you  as  they  appear  in  Prime's  history.  The 
first  was  written  at  Greenport,  then  known  as  Stirling: 

"My  Bear  Sir:  Stirling,  Feb.  3,  1764,  At  night. 

"What  a  winding  world  we  live  in!  I  have  been  a  good  way 
round,  and  now  am  come  within  sight  of  your  house  again.     Yes- 


e8  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

terday  the  boat  and  all  was  just  gone.  To-day,  I  trust,  some  have 
felt  themselves  undone — one,  upon  the  road,  we  overtook,  sweetly, 
sorely  wounded.  Grace!  Grace!  I  am  now  come  to  wait  for  sail- 
ing. Will  you  send  a  poor,  but  willing  pilgrim,  the  promised  sea- 
provisions.  God  feed  you  and  yours  with  bread  that  cometh  down 
from  heaven.  A  thousand  thanks  for  all  favours.  Add  to  my  obli- 
gation by  continuing  to  pray  for,  my  dear  friend, 

"Yours  in  the  never-failing  Jesus, 

"G.  W." 

The  next  was  written  after  his  arrival  in  Boston,  and  is  as  follows : 

Boston,  May  2,  1764. 

"And  is  Shelter  Island  become  a  Patmos?  It  seems  so  by  my 
dear  friend's  letter.  Blessed  be  God!  Blessed  be  God!  What  can- 
not a  God  in  Christ  do  for  His  people.  All  things  well.  Though  he 
leads  them  seemingly  in  a  round  about,  yet  it  is  a  right  way.  Though 
they  pass  through  the  fire,  yet  it  does  not  consume — though 
through  deep,  yea,  very  deep  waters,  yet  it  does  not  overwhelm,  so 
as  to  destroy  them.  And  all  these  are  only  earnests  of  good  things 
to  come.  How  many  assurances,  that  we  shall,  at  last,  be  carried 
through  the  Jordan  of  death,  and  safely  landed  in  the  Canaan  of 
everlasting  rest.  Surely  he  cannot  be  far  from  them  now.  Such 
frequent  shocks  that  your  earthly  tabernacle  and  mine  meet  with, 
must  necessarily  loosen  the  silver  cords  that  hold  them  up.  What 
then?  We  have  a  house  not  made  with  hands — eternal — in  the 
heavens. 

"Though  we  cannot  join  in  singing,  we  can  in  repeating 

'By  Thee,  we  shall 
Break  thro'  them  all 
And  sing  the  song  of  Moses.' 

"Methinks  I  hear  you  say  Amen!  Hallelujah — and  why?  Be- 
cause His  mercy  endureth  forever.  I  could  enlarge,  but  must  away 
to  my  throne.  It  is  but  seldom  I  can  climb  so  high.  But  an 
infinitely  condescending  Jesus  vouchsafes  to  smile  upon  my  feeble 
labours,  here  and  elsewhere.  Who  knows  but  I  may  ere  long  come 
your  way.  Perhaps  the  cloud  may  point  towards  Patmos.  Mr. 
Wright  will  be  glad.  He  is  better  and  sends  most  cordial  respects. 
My  poor  prayers  constantly  wait  upon  your  whole  self.  Mr.  Adams 
and  your  rising  ofifspring.

"In  sure  and  certain  hope,  if  we  never  meet  in  this  world,  of  a 
glorious  resurrection  to  eternal  life,  in  that  which  is  to  come,  I  sub- 
scribe myself,  very  dear  sir 

"Your  truly  affec.  sympathizing  friend,  and  willing  servant,  in 
our  common  never  failing  Lord, 

"G.  WHITEFIELD." 

Of  all  this,  connected  with  that  prince  of  preachers.  Shelter 
Island  may  be  justly  proud.  Here,  again,  Newtown,  my  former 
beloved  charge,  grasps  hands  with  Shelter  Island,  as  Newtown  was 
likewise  honored  with  the  presence  and  preaching  of  this  celebrated 
evangelist.  There,  like  here,  he  preached  in  a  neighboring  grove, 
to  an  immense  audience,  that  was  deeply  moved  by  his  message. 
Among  those  who  were  then  converted  was  a  young  man  by  the 
name  of  Peter  Fish,  who  afterwards  became  pastor  of  that  very 
church.  Something  akin  to  this  was  the  conversion  of  Samuel 
L'Hommedieu,  Esq.,  of  Sag  Harbor,  when  he  was  a  young  man,  in 
connection  with  Whitefield's  preaching  on  this  island.  He  often 
spoke  of  this  with  delight,  and  also  of  his  having  assisted  in  making 
a  raft  that  conveyed  the  evangelist  with  his  horse  and  carriage  from 
Southold  to  Shelter  Island. 

Before  leaving  Mr.  Thomas  Bering  it  is  worthy  of  note  that  his 
family  claims  to  be  one  of  the  oldest,  if  not  the  oldest,  Saxon  family 
extant,  whose  history  can  be  traced  in  a  direct  line  back  to  Ethel- 
ward,  King  of  Diera.  Originally  the  Derings  were  powerful  leaders 
or  petty  kings  of  Diera,  in  Saxony,  whence  one  of  them,  a  warrior, 
came  to  England,  and  settled  first  in  Lydd,  in  Romney,  Marsh,  Kent. 
One  of  the  more  remote  ancestors,  Bering  Miles,  appears  as  a  wit- 
ness to  a  deed  by  which  King  Ethelwuff  conveyed  certain  lands  to 
a  church  at  Rochester,  A.  B.  880.  The  American  branch  of  the 
Bering  family  came  to  this  country  through  the  person  of  Henry 
Bering,  Esq.,  of  Croscome,  by  Bumister,  near  Borchester,  in  Bor- 
setshire,  England,  who  was  born  in  August,  1639,  and  came  to 
Boston,  New  England,  about  1660. 

Among  other  possessions  Mr.  Bering  owned  a  number  of 
slaves,  one  of  whom,  by  the  name  of  Cato,  was  once  caught  in  his 
wine  cellar  imbibing.  Mr.  Bering  had  him  immediately  brought 
before  him  for  punishment,  and,  in  order  to  make  his  punishment  as 
effective  as  possible,  both  on  the  guilty  one  and  the  rest  of  the 
slaves,  had  them  all  summoned,  with  all  the  whites  whom  he  had  in

his  employ,  in  the  large  servants'  kitchen.  Among  the  other  slaves 
was  one  named  Comus,  who  was  remarkable  for  his  keenness  of  in- 
tellect as  well  as  for  his  immense  stature,  he  being  six  feet  and  six 
inches  tall.  While  the  sin  and  punishment  of  Cato  was  being  dis- 
cussed, this  giant  of  a  slave  rose  up  and  asked  permission  to  plead 
for  Cato,  and  having  received  permission  from  his  master,  proceeded 
as  follows:  "Massa,  you  have  pigs  and  you  have  corn,  'spose  them 
pigs  get  in  and  eat  some  of  that  corn.  The  pigs  are  yours,  and  is  not 
the  corn  yours  just  the  same,  if  the  pigs  have  eaten  it?  Now  Cato 
is  yours  and  the  cider  he  drank  was  yours  before,  and  is  it  not  still 
yours  after  he  has  drank  it?  I  do  not  see  why  Cato  should  be  pun- 
ished." Mr.  Bering  rose  and  said:  "Comus,  thou  reasoneth  well. 
Cato,  thou  art  discharged."

CHAPTER    IV. 

Throug-h  the  kindness  of  Mrs.  William  Rysam  Sleight,  of  Sag 
Harbor,  I  am  able  to  give  an  exact  copy  of  the  original  census  list 
of  Shelter  Island,  taken  in  177 1.  It  is  an  interesting  and  valuable 
addition  to  our  work,  showing  the  growth  of  the  community  since 
the  organization  of  the  Town  in  1730.  During  these  years  the  com- 
munity has  doubled  in  population.  Its  complexion  has  remained 
about  the  same.  A  few  of  the  names  registered  in  1730  have  disap- 
peared and  are  not  recorded  in  the  list  of  1771.  These  are  Syl- 
vester, Hudson,  Tuthill,  Vail,  Hopkins  and  Oilman.  In  their  place 
appear  Bering,  Sawyer,  Case,  King,  Duval  and  Horton.  The  name 
of  Havens  is  still  vastly  in  the  majority,  as  at  the  organization  of 
the  Town.  Some  names  on  the  list  of  1771  are  identical  with  those 
of  1730.  These  are  William  Nicoll,  Daniel  Brown,  Thomas  Conk- 
ling,  Joel  Bowditch,  Abraham  Parker,  Jonathan  Havens,  George 
Havens  and  Joseph  Havens. 

Only  two  of  them,  however,  represent  the  same  person,  namely, 
Daniel  Brown  and  Thomas  Conkling.  Forty  years  have  now 
passed  since  the  Town  was  fully  organized,  and  with  their  passing 
have  transported  nearly  all  of  the  founders  into  eternity. 

The  census  list  of  1776  is  also  here  given,  being  copied  out  of  one 
of  the  volumes  of  Colonial  Documents.  It  shows  a  slight  change  in 
the  personnel  of  this  community  from  the  list  of  1771. 

To  return  once  more  to  ecclesiastical  matters.  The  first  refer- 
ence to  religious  matters  in  the  records  of  the  Town  occurs  in  the 
minutes  of  1771,  under  the  following  resolution:  "It  is  voted  that 
Messrs.  William  Nicoll  and  Nicoll  Havens,  inspect  the  accounts 
of  those  that  have  the  care  of  the  moneys  left  by  Brinley  Sylvester, 
Esq.,  towards  the  support  of  the  Gospel  on  this  island,  and  to  make 
report  next  Town  meeting." 

As  we  have  already  seen,  the  Rev.  Mr.  Adams  came  to  this 
island  about  1737.  He  continued  to  reside  here,  with  a  short  in- 
terregnum of  two  years,  until  the  early  part  of  the  American  Revo- 
lution, when  he  left  with  Mr.  Dering,  whose  private  chaplain  he 
was,  Mr.  Dering  feeling  constrained  for  sake  of  safety  to  take  refuge 
with  his  family  within  the  American  lines,  and  moved  to  Connecti- 
cut.    The  people  on  this  island  must  then  have  enjoyed  in  some

In  compliance  of  a  requisition  to  me  from  George  Murison,  Esq.,  High  Sheriff

sense  the  labors  and  privileges  of  a  resident  preacher  up  to  that 
time.  The  resolution  of  1771  likewise  gives  evidence  of  religious 
interest.  It  then  is  hardly  probable  that  such  a  religious  dearth 
existed  among  them  during  the  last  century  as  has  been  pictured

1776.  Capt.  Sam'l  Case  appeared  before  me,  and  made  oath  to  the  within  list, 
that  it  contained  a  true  and  faithful  account  of  the  inhabitants  of  the  Township  of 
Shelter  Island.  THOMAS  DERING, 

Chairman  Town  Committee. 


by  some  writers  regarding  Shelter  Island.  With  a  meeting  house 
erected  by  the  citizens  of  the  place;  with  a  resident  clergyman  in  the 
home  of  one,  who  likewise  was  called  by  the  community  to  be  its 
pastor;  with  a  fund  or  legacy  of  five  hundred  dollars  (a  considerable 
sum  in  those  days),  the  interest  of  which  was  to  help  in  the  sup- 
port of  a  regular  orthodox  Presbyterian  minister;  with  the  care 
and  oversight  of  Long  Island  Presbytery,  kindly  bestowed  in  occa- 
sional supplies,  of  preachers  in  Presbyterial  meetings  and  ordina- 
tion; with  a  community  largely  made  up  of  Pilgrim  and  Puritan 
descendants,  visited  by  renowned  preachers  and  mighty  evangelists.

and  in  constant  touch  with  the  religious  communities  of  Southold, 
Easthampton,  Bridgehampton  and  Southampton — it  is  more  than 
probable  that  the  people  enjoyed  the  privileges  of  the  gospel  and 
the  ordinances  of  God's  house  fully  equal  to  their  ability.  No  doubt 
the  Revolutionary  war  led  to  the  suspension  of  the  outward  means 
of  grace,  as  it  drove  some  of  the  inhabitants,  among  them  the  more 
prominent,  into  exile.  And  this  brings  us  to  a  highly  important 
period  in  the  history  of  Shelter  Island,  the  period  of  the  Revolution. 
Some  of  the  incidents  that  happened  here  have  already  been  touched 
upon  in  the  review  of  Mr.  Thomas  Dering's  life.  But  only  some. 
For  there  were  other  patriots  here  who  played  an  important  part 
in  that  mighty  struggle.  Indeed,  Shelter  Island  was  not  behind 
any  other  place  in  its  loyalty  and  devotion  to  the  cause  of  liberty. 
Not  only  "not  behind,"  but  way  ahead  of  many  another  community, 
as  the  paper  here  inserted  fully  proves.  This  paper,  which  is  a  pledge 
to  support  the  Colonies  in  resisting  British  oppression,  was  cir- 
culated upon  Shelter  Island  shortly  after  the  battle  of  Lexington, 
which  was  the  signal  for  war  with  Great  Britain.  It  was  signed 
with  but  one  or  perhaps  two  exceptions,  by  every  man  on  Shelter 
Island.  What  a  record  is  this!  What  a  display  of  patriotism! 
Does  it  not  lift  the  inhabitants  of  Shelter  Island  into  the  very  front 
rank  of  noble  citizens,  ardent  patriots  and  lovers  of  freedom? 
That  paper  is  a  crown  of  glory  to  Shelter  Island  that  shall  not  fade 
away  so  long  as  history  is  true  in  its  record  and  just  in  its  meed  of 
praise.  Let  the  present  and  future  generations  of  this  place  en- 
shrine it  in  undying  affection,  for  what  the  Declaration  of  Inde- 
pendence is  to  the  nation,  this  instrument  is  to  Shelter  Island, 
namely,  its  Magna  Charta. 

Besides  Mr.  Thomas  Dering,  who,  as  we  have  already  seen,  was 
a  member  of  the  Provincial  Convention  of  New  York  that  unani- 
mously adopted  the  Declaration  of  Independence,  upon  which 
the  Convention  assumed  the  title  of  "The  Representatives  of  the 
State  of  New  York,"  besides  Mr.  Dering,  Shelter  Island  was  repre- 
sented by  Capt.  James  Havens,  who  kept  a  store  in  the  house  now 
occupied  by  his  great  grandson,  Mr.  Henry  P.  Havens,  and  known 
as  "Hearts-Ease."  Still  a  third  member  was  sent  from  here  in  the 
person  of  Capt.  Daniel  Brown,  so  that  our  little  island  furnished 
three  members  of  the  various  Provisional  Congresses  that  met  in 
1775  and  1776.  I  doubt  whether  another  community  in  all  Suffolk 
County  did  as  much.     As  early  as  the  summer  of  1775,  the  British

navy  appeared  in  these  waters,  prowling  around  this  island,  to  the 
number  of  thirteen  ships  of  war,  and  during  the  progress  of  the  war  as 
many  as  twenty-one  vessels  lay  at  one  time  in  Gardiner's  Bay.  That 
body  of  water  became  the  rendezvous  of  the  enemy's  ships  of  war. 
The  names  of  some  of  the  vessels  were  as  follows:  The  London, 
120  guns;  Grand  Duke,  120  guns;  Royal  Oak,  100  guns;  Bedford, 
100  guns;  Centurion,  80  Guns;  Robust,  74  guns;  Royal  George,  74 
guns,  and  the  Culloden,  74  guns.  Upon  the  disastrous  result  of 
the  battle  of  Long  Island  to  the  American  side,  in  August,  1776, 
the  British  took  possession  of  the  whole  of  Long  Island,  with  its 
adjacent  islands,  and  continued  their  sway  of  martial  law  throughout 
the  war  from  1776  to  1783. 

During  these  years  the  inhabitants  of  Shelter  Island  suffered 
terribly  for  their  loyalty  to  the  cause  of  the  Colonists.  The  officers 
of  the  enemy's  vessels  anchored  in  these  waters  would  come  ashore 
and  compel  the  inhabitants  to  provide  whatever  they  demanded. 
They  forced  every  one  at  the  point  of  the  bayonet  to  swear  allegiance 
to  the  king.  Nothing  was  safe  from  the  hands  of  the  enemy,  and 
not  only  from  the  enemy,  but  from  some  of  their  neighbors  who 
were  Tories. 

Thompson  in  his  history  tells  us  that  "the  Tory  inhabitants, 
whether  natives  or  refugees  (by  which  he  means  those  who  sympa- 
thized with  the  British)  that  the  Tory  inhabitants  were  the  constant 
dread  of  those  on  the  other  side,  who  had  anything  to  lose,  or  who 
had  by  their  patriotism  rendered  themselves  obnoxious  to  their 
despicable  malice.  Even  the  more  inoffensive,  who  remained  at 
home  with  their  suffering  families,  were  often  harassed,  and  per- 
petually exposed  to  the  predatory  disposition  of  the  worst  men, 
and  could  hardly  be  said  to  ihave  anything  which  they  could  call 
their  own.  In  some  instances  the  lives  of  peaceable  citizens  were 
sacrificed  in  the  most  unprovoked  and  wanton  manner,  disgraceful 
even  to  barbarians,  because  they  would  not  discover  their  money 
and  other  valuables  to  the  robbers.  The  property  of  those  who 
had  fled  from  their  homes,  and  especially  those  engaged  in  the 
American  service,  was  particularly  the  object  of  rapine,  and  in 
many  instances  the  damages  were  immense.  Woods  and  fences 
were  lavishly  used  for  fuel,  and  in  any  other  way  which  served  the 
purposes  of  those  stationed  in  the  neighborhood  as  well  as  for  the 
garrisons  of  Brooklyn  and  New  York."  , 

During  this   time   the   administration   of  justice,   according   to 


66  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

historian  Woods,  was  suspended  and  the  British  army  became  a 
sanctuary  for  crimes  and  robbery,  the  grossest  offences  being 
atoned  for  by  enlistment  therein.  Those  who  had  served  in  any 
wise  in  the  cause  of  Hberty  had  to  fly  into  the  American  lines  for 
safety,  while  those  who  remained  at  home  were  harassed  and  plun- 
dered of  their  property,  the  inhabitants  of  Suffolk  County  being 
perpetually  exposed  to  the  grossest  insult  and  abuse.  They  had 
no  property  of  a  movable  kind  that  they  could,  properly  speaking, 
call  their  own;  they  were  oftentimes  deprived  of  the  stock  neces- 
sary to  the  management  of  their  farms,  and  were  deterred  from  en- 
deavoring to  produce  more  than  a  bare  subsistence  by  the  appre- 
hension that  a  surplus  would  be  wrested  from  them  either  by  the 
military  authority  of  the  purveyor  or  the  ruffian  hand  of  the  plun- 
derer. The  officers  seized  and  occupied  the  best  rooms  in  the 
houses  of  the  inhabitants;  they  compelled  them  to  furnish  blankets 
and  fuel  for  the  soldiers,  and  hay  and  grain  for  their  horses;  the} 
took  away  their  cattle,  sheep,  hogs  and  poultry,  and  seized  without 
ceremony  and  without  any  compensation  whatever  they  desired 
to  gratify  their  wants  and  wishes." 

But  these  pecuniary  losses  were  not  the  sorest  trials  that  the  in- 
habitants of  Long  Island  endured  under  the  tyranny  of  their  op- 
pressors. Besides  these  violations  of  the  rights  of  person  and 
property,  the  British  officers  did  many  acts  of  barbarity,  for  which 
there  could  be  no  apology.  They  made  garrisons,  storehouses  or 
stables  of  the  houses  of  public  worship  in  several  towns,  and  par- 
ticularly of  such  as  belonged  to  the  Presbyterians.  Among  the 
Presbyterian  churches  that  were  thus  pillaged  was  the  one  of  New- 
town, from  which  "they  actually  sawed  off  the  steeple  in  derision, 
smashed  its  pews,  tore  off  its  siding  and  turned  the  sacred  place  into 
a  prison,  guard  house,  hospital  and  stable,  and  as  a  parting  indignity 
demolished  the  whole." 

The  Presbyterian  church  of  Islip  was  literally  carried  off  by 
piecemeal  to  Jamaica  to  be  used  as  barracks  for  the  British  soldiers. 
The  church  at  Southold,  our  next  of  kin  ecclesiastically,  and  the 
mother  of  this  church,  had  no  services  in  it  during  the  whole  eight 
years  of  the  war.  Its  pastor,  the  Rev.  John  Storrs,  went  into  the 
army  as  chaplain.  Our  Presbytery,  the  Presbytery  of  Long  Island, 
could  not  gather  during  this  time  of  trial,  persecution  and  blood. 
One  of  its  members,  the  Rev.  Joshua  Hart,  languished  for  two  years 
in  the  awful  prison  ships  of  the  enemy  anchored  in  the  Wallabout 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  67 

of  Brooklyn.  All  persons  of  importance  in  this  region  were  driven 
into  exile,  only  slaves  and  servants  remained.  Not  even  the  farms 
could  be  tilled.  From  all  this  you  can  imagine  the  hardships  that 
the  people  of  this  island  had  to  endure  during  these  eventful  years. 

As  a  sample  of  what  they  had  to  endure,  I  give  you  this  extract 
bearing  date  of  Sept.  15th,  1781:  "On  the  evening  of  the  15th  the 
British  ransacked  the  house  of  Nicoll  Havens  on  Shelter  Island, 
took  two  fowling  pieces,  a  silver  hilted  sword,  a  silver  mounted 
hanger,  some  tea,  &c.  At  Capt.  James  Havens'  they  took  a  watch, 
coat,  fowling  piece,  &c.  Then  they  went  to  widow  Payne's,  in- 
sulted the  inmates  of  the  house  and  threatened  to  burn  it,  made 
them  produce  a  silver  tankard,  linen,  a  watch,  a  coat,  and  a  fowling 
piece,  &c."  No  wonder  that  at  the  close  of  the  war,  as  the  enemy's 
fleet  departed,  the  people  of  this  place  assembled  on  the  hills  at 
Prospect  and  held  a  jubilee  over  their  departure.  One  of  the 
enemy's  vessels,  the  Culloden,  ran  ashore  on  the  east  point  of  Fort 
Pond  and  became  a  total  loss,  the  accident  resulting  from  a  blind- 
ing snowstorm  that  set  in  just  as  the  squadron  was  rounding  Gardi- 
ner's Point.  Because  of  this,  that  point  is  designated  as  "Culloden's 
Point"  on  all  charts  to  this  day. 

Dr.  Woodworth,  in  his  dedicatory  sermon  preached  upon  the 
dedication  of  the  present  church  building,  in  1817,  speaking  of  this 
period,  said:  "The  calamities  and  disastrous  connections  of  the 
Revolutionary  war  were  here  experienced  in  great  weight.  The 
destruction  of  property,  though  great,  was  by  no  means  the  worst 
evil.  The  demoralizing  effects  were  much  more  to  be  deplored. 
The  public  means  of  grace  were  suspended;  the  Sabbath  of  the 
Lord  profaned,  and  that  sense  of  God  and  the  claims  of  serious 
religion,  which  rested  but  too  lightly  on  the  public  mind,  now 
seemed  to  be  wholly  erased.  Vice  in  its  various  forms  prevailed 
and  failed  not  to  produce  its  legitimate  effects."  Such  in  part  were 
the  vicissitudes  of  this  people.  But  it  was  not  in  vain.  The  cause 
for  which  it  had  all  been  born,  was  not  only  worthy  of  it,  but  had 
gloriously  triumphed. 

At  the  close  of  the  war  the  Legislature  of  New  York  passed 
on  April  6th,  1784,  a  law  governing  the  incorporation  of  religious 
societies,  by  the  selection  of  a  Board  of  Trustees,  who  should  have 
charge  of  the  temporalities  and  discharge  such  other  duties  as  are 
therein  stated.  On  that  same  day  Shelter  Island  held  its  Town 
meeting,  the  first  one  after  the  war,  and  after  selecting  its  officers, 


68  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

appointed  a  committee,  consisting  of  Sylvester  Bering  and  Jona- 
than N.  Havens,  to  "inquire  into  and  take  charge  of  the  monnies 
left  by  Brinley  Sylvester,  Esq.,  toward  the  support  of  the  Gospel  on 
Shelter  Island  and  make  report  thereof  to  the  Inhabitants  of  the 
Island."  The  next  year  a  special  meeting  was  called  of  the  in- 
habitants of  the  Society  of  Shelter  Island  for  the  26th  of  April,  when 
the  Church  Society  was  duly  organized,  as  the  following  record  will 
show: 

"These  are  to  certify  that  a  meeting  of  the  Inhabitants  of  the 
Society  of  Shelter  Island,  held  on  the  26th  day  of  April,  1785,  legally

The  above  is  the  first  entry  in  the  records  of  this  society.  After 
it  comes  another,  which  tells  us  the  order  in  which  the  members  of 
the  Board  served  the  society:

They  then  Proceeded  to  the  choice  of  a  Trustee  in  the  place 
of  the  one  that  by  Law  then  became  vacant,  when   WiUiam 
Bowditch  was  re-chosen. 
The  first  inventory  made  by  the  Trustees  according  to  law  was 
made  the  i6th  of  March,  1789,  and  is  as  follows:

The  society  was  now  duly  incorporated  by  the  selection  of  these 
three  men  as  trustees.  One  of  them  wa-5  the  Supervisor  of  the 
Town;  I  refer  to  Jonathan  N.  Havens,  a  great-grandson  of  the  first 
George  Havens  and  a  man  of  note;  perhaps  the  greatest  man  native 
to  this  soil.  He  was  the  son  of  Nicoll  Havens  and  Sarah  Fosdick, 
his  first  wife,  while  Nicoll  Havens  was  the  son  of  Jonathan  Havens 
and  Catherine  Nicoll.  The  subject  of  this  sketch,  Jonathan  Nicoll 
Havens,  thus  bore  the  given  name  of  his  father  and  grandfather. 
He  was  born  on  the  i8th  of  June,  1757.  In  1773  he  entered  Yale 
College,  at  the  age  of  sixteen,  and  graduated  with  honor  in  1777. 
While  in  College  he  was  president  of  the  Linonian  Society,  from 
which  it  may  be  inferred  that  he  was  not  inattentive  to  the  uses  of 
public  speaking  and  composition.     After  graduating  he  returned  to 


yo  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

his  home  on  this  island,  where  he  became  partly  engaged  in  agri- 
cultural pursuits.  His  principal  occupation,  however,  was  of  a  lit- 
erary kind,  the  pursuit  of  the  higher  branches  of  learning.  Several 
years  were  thus  passed  in  retirement,  seclusion  and  study.  So  en- 
grossed was  he  at  times  in  thought  that  he  was  unconscious  of  per- 
sons or  things  about  him,  as  the  following  incident  will  show.  A 
certain  Major  Jessup,  of  Southampton,  a  personal  friend  of  Mr. 
Jonathan  Nicoll  Havens,  while  on  a  visit  to  Shelter  Island  one  day, 
made  a  call  on  Mr.  Havens,  who  saluted  him  as  he  entered  the 
house,  but  immediately  returned  to  his  studies,  forgetting  altogether 
of  his  visitor,  who  after  staying  a  long  time  departed  without  notice. 
On  the  day  after  he  called  again,  in  company  with  Mr.  Sylvester 
Bering,  and  in  conversation  related  the  circumstance  of  his  call  on 
the  day  previous,  upon  which  Mr.  Havens  assured  him  that  he  had 
felt  unaware  of  his  visit,  so  deeply  had  he  been  absorbed  by  the  sub- 
ject of  his  inquiry.  Upon  the  death  of  his  father,  also  a  man  of 
great  prominence  and  highly  esteemed,  Jonathan  N,  Havens  was 
chosen  Clerk  of  the  Town.  This  of^ce  his  father  had  held  from 
1759,  except  during  the  period  of  the  Revolution,  to  the  time  of  his 
death,  in  1783.  His  father  also,  with  the  of^ce  of  Town  Clerk, 
held  the  office  of  Supervisor  for  seven  years  before  the  beginning 
of  the  war,  and  at  its  close  in  the  spring  of  the  year  in  which  he 
died,  was  again  elected  to  both  offices.  Now  the  son,  at  a  special 
meeting  held  Dec.  4th,  1783,  is  chosen  to  succeed  his  father  as 
Town  Clerk,  and  with  this  office  begins  a  public  career  which  gained 
for  him  a  great  name  in  the  annals  of  his  country.  He  continued 
to  serve  as  Town  Clerk  until  1787,  when  he  was  chosen  Supervisor, 
which  office  he  discharged  until  1793.  In  the  meantime  his  ability  had 
been  spread  abroad,  so  that  in  1786  he  was  elected  an  Assemblyman 
from  Sufifolk  County,  to  which  office  he  was  re-elected  for  ten  con- 
secutive years.  In  this  body  he  became  distinguished  for  his  in- 
tegrity and  ability  as  a  statesman.  Among  other  important  posi- 
tions he  was  chairman  of  the  committee  which  originated  the  law  es- 
tablishing public  schools  in  the  State  of  New  York.  Then,  too,  he 
was  a  member  of  the  State  Convention  which  met  at  Poughkeepsie 
on  June  17,  1788,  and  adopted  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States. 
He  was  also  elected  a  Justice  of  the  Peace  of  the  County  of  Suf- 
folk in  1795.  After  his  ten  years  of  service  in  the  Assembly  of  the 
State,  he  was  chosen  a  United  States  Representative,  being  elected 
a  member  of  the  Fourth  Congress,  in  which  body  he  served  until 


Slielter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  ji 

his  death,  in  1799,  at  the  early  age  of  42.  His  death  was  a  great 
shock  to  the  community  and  to  all  who  knew  him.  Thompson  says: 
"He  was  not  only  a  man  of  extraordinary  abilities,  but  was  distin- 
guished likewise  for  industry  and  promptitude  in  everything  which 
he  undertook.  The  death  of  such  a  man  at  the  age  of  40  years  (it 
should  be  42)  could  not  be  otherwise  felt  than  a  subject  of  general 
regret  with  all  who  knew  his  worth."  He  was  buried  in  the  South 
churchyard,  and  over  his  remains  was  raised  a  tablet  that  bears  this 
high  eulogy:  "Erected  to  the  memory  of  Jonathan  Nicoll  Havens. 
Esq.,  Representative  in  the  Congress  of  the  United  States.  He  was 
esteemed  by  a  numerous  acquaintance  as  a  man  of  superior  talent 
aud  erudition,  a  philosopher,  statesman  and  patriot,  and  died  greatly 
lamented  Oct.  25th,  1799,  in  the  42  yr.  of  his  age.''  As  Shelter 
Island  can  with  pride  point  to  her  first  supervisor,  the  Hon.  William 
Nicoll,  so  can  this  religious  corporation  point  with  equal  satisfaction 
to  her  first  selected  Trustee,  the  Hon.  Jonathan  Nicoll  Havens. 

Mr.  Havens  belonged  to  a  distinguished  family.  One  of  his 
sisters,  Esther  Sarah  Havens,  married  General  Sylvester  Bering,  the 
second  trustee,  of  whom  we  shall  have  occasion  to  speak 
later.  Another  sister,  Mary  Catherine,  married  the  Hon.  Ezra 
L'Hommedieu,  also  a  noted  statesman  for  more  than  thirty  years, 
born  in  Southold,  and  considered  by  Dr.  Epher  Whitaker  "the 
foremost  of  all  the  men  who  have  lived  all  their  life  from  birth  to 
death  in  that  noted  town."  A  brother  of  Jonathan  Nicoll  Havens, 
named  Rensselaer  Havens,  became  a  distinguished  merchant,  finan- 
cier and  patriot  in  New  York  City.  He,  with  another  gentleman, 
fitted  out  a  vessel  and  presented  it  to  the  government  during  the 
war  of  1812.  While  in  Yale  College  Mr.  Jonathan  Nicoll  Havens 
wrote  the  following  letter,  which  is  here  given  because  of  its  interest 
in  many  ways,  among  them  the  parental  respect  it  displays,  the 
inconvenience  of  travel  in  those  days,  the  use  of  the  pillow  case, 
etc.,  etc. 

"New  Haven,  March  29th,  1774. 
"Honored  Sir: 

"I  take  this  opportunity  by  Mr.  Hathoway  to  write  you  a  few 
lines.  By  Cpt.  Moses  Sawyer,  who  came  with  him,  I  understand 
you  are  troubled  with  boils,  for  which  am  sorry,  but  am  glad  to  hear 
the  rest  of  the  family  are  all  well.  I  have  not  heard  from  you  since 
my  last,  which  I  sent  by  Uncle  Mumford  when  he  was  hear  upon  the 


72  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

Assembly,  which  I  suppose  you  have  received  afore  this  time.  As 
the  spring  vacancy  draws  nigh,  I  begin  to  think  of  coming  home, 
and  I  believe  I  shall  want  to  bring  home  a  pretty  large  bundle,  as 
a  good  many  of  my  shirts  begin  to  wear  out  and  some  of  my  stock- 
ings, together  with  these  I  designed  to  have  brought  home,  my 
cloath  for  a  coat  and  some  of  my  books  which  I  make  no  use  of, 
which  I  fear  I  shall  not  be  able  to  perform,  as  having  nothing  but 
a  pillow  case  which  I  was  put  to  great  difficulty  with  when  I  went 
home  last,  unless  I  had  a  pair  of  saddle-bags  or  some  other  con- 
veniency,  or  could  get  a  passage  directly  home  in  some  boat,  tho' 
I  have  not  heard  from  you,  whether  you  designed  to  send  a  boat  on 
purpose.  I  should  be  glad  to  hear  whether  it  is  worth  while  to 
bring  all  the  things  home  which  I  have  mentioned  or  in  what  man- 
ner I  shall  act,  and  I  remain  with  love  to  all,  your  loving  and  dutiful 
son, 

"JONATH.    N'LL.   HAVENS." 

The  third  trustee  of  the  original  board,  Mr.  William  Bowditch, 
was  born  on  this  island  about  the  year  of  1751.  He  was  the  son 
of  Joel  Bowditch  and  Bethiah  Case.  His  father  was  one  of  the 
twenty  men  who  founded  the  Town  in  1730. 

Mr.  Bowditch  at  the  time  of  his  selection  as  Trustee  was  Over- 
seer of  the  Poor.  He  continued  to  serve  the  Town  in  various  offices 
until  1794,  when  he  was  chosen  Supervisor,  which  office  he  held  for 
twenty  years.  Thus  from  1784  to  the  time  of  his  death,  in  1820,  he 
served  the  Town  in  almost  every  capacity,  a  period  of  thirty-six 
years.  While  as  trustee  he  served  this  society  from  its  incorpora- 
tion, 1785,  with  the  exception  of  three  years,  likewise  until  his  death, 
a  period  of  thirty-two  years.  He  is  best  remembered  as  Squire 
Bowditch,  and  is  considered  by  some  to  have  been  the  moving  spirit 
in  the  building  of  the  present  sanctuary. 

That  Board  of  Trustees  has  continued  in  existence  down  to  the 
present  time,  and  as  it  is  characteristic  of  such  Boards  to  continue 
in  existence  as  long  as  the  corporation  which  they  represent  con- 
tinues to  exist,  and  further,  as  this  corporation  gives  every  evidence 
of  unending  life,  it  is  fair  to  assume  that  the  Board  will  continue  to 
exist  until  the  end  of  time.  Besides  this,  as  the  Rev.  Mr.  Harries 
said  in  his  historical  discourse,  we  may  properly  date  the  origin 
of  this  congregation  from  the  time  of  the  completion  of  the  first 
meeting  house,  namely,  in  1743.     So  that  this  assembly  has  existed 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  y^ 

by  regular  succession  one  hunderd  and  fifty-five  years.  You  will 
notice  that  we  are  thus  speaking  of  the  existence  of  the  religious 
assembly  or  congregation  on  this  island,  not  the  church,  for  as 
yet  we  have  not  reached  the  time  when  God  in  His  Grace  gathered 
together  a  body  in  which  to  dwell  a  sanctuary  "made  up  of  living 
stones." 

At  this  date  it  is  said  there  still  lived  quite  a  large  number  of 
Indians  on  the  island.  This  conflicts  somewhat  with  a  previous 
statement  that  upon  the  purchase  of  the  island  from  the  Indians  the 
latter  left  the  island.  Perhaps  not  all,  but  only  a  portion.  How- 
ever, what  is  here  said  is  substantiated  by  good  and  sufihcient  evi- 
dence. The  huts  and  wigwams  of  these  remaining  Indians  formed 
quite  a  village  on  Sachem's  Neck.  In  1790  more  than  half  of  these 
were  destroyed  through  fire,  which  broke  out  in  one  of  them  one 
morning,  and  spread  to  the  rest,  as  they  were  pitched  so  near  to- 
gether. Some  of  the  aborigines  are  remembered  by  those  living 
and  present  with  us  at  this  time.  The  last  of  this  race  became  the 
subject  of  a  remarkable  conversion,  under  the  early  ministry  of  the 
Rev.  Daniel  M.  Lord,  who  speaks  of  her  in  particular  in  one  of  his 
sermons  as  follows: 

"Of  the  fruits  of  this  precious  refreshing  from  the  presence  of 
the  Lord  twelve  were  gathered  into  the  church  at  one  communion 
season.  Among  these  was  one,  the  last  of  the  aborigines  who  was 
born  on  Shelter  Island.  She  had  lived  in  ignorance  and  in  the 
detriment  of  sin,  without  God  and  without  hope  in  the  world. 
More  than  fourscore  years  had  made  its  deep  furroughs  on  her  brow. 
She  had  often  sold  herself  to  letchery  and  rum.  It  may  be  said  for 
many,  many  years  that  no  one  cared  for  her  soul.  But  God's  time 
came,  when  all  her  race  had  been  laid  in  the  grave,  and  all  those 
whom  she  had  known  in  her  youth  were  beneath  the  clods  of  the 
valley,  then  it  was  that  God's  word  was  spirit  and  life. 

"The  small  amount  of  truth  which  she  had  heard,  for  she  could 
not- read  in  all  her  lifetime,  had  a  resurrection.  She  was  created 
anew  in  Christ  Jesus  unto  good  works,  that  she  might  walk  in  them. 
There  are  those  present  to-day  (1856)  who  remember  the  bowed 
form  but  robust  frame  of  Betty  Tobs  Caeser.  They  remember  also 
the  change  that  came  over  her.  How  she  adjured  the  intoxicating 
cup  and  forsook  her  wicked  ways  and  unrighteous  thoughts  and 
returned  unto  the  Lord,  who  had  mercy  and  abundantly  pardoned. 
They  saw  the  change  and  admired  the  grace  that  kindled  in  her  heart 


74  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

the  flame  of  love  to  God  and  to  man.  Not  this  alone,  there  are  some 
still  lingering  on  these  mortal  shores  who  have  listened  to  her  voice 
in  prayer  and  have  been  constrained  to  feel  that  her  lips  were 
touched  with  hallowed  fire.  Nor  can  they  "forget  the  scene  of  the  last 
conflict  of  the  dying  Indian  saint  as  visions  of  unutterable  glory 
burst  upon  her  sight.  Each  who  witnessed  that  closing  scene  felt 
for  the  Christian  to  die  is  gain.  Twenty-one  years  are  past  and  yet 
the  vision  of  that  hour  stands  out  before  me  as  the  sun  of  yesterday. 
Oh!  death  where  is  thy  sting.  Oh!  grave  where  is  thy  victory. 
Thanks  be  to  God  who  giveth  us  the  victory  through  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ." 

In  looking  over  the  first  inventory  of  this  religious  corporation 
we  notice  that  no  real  estate  is  mentioned,  though  it  is  well  known 
that  a  church  building  existed  on  this  island.  We  are  led  to  ask, 
therefore,  to  whom  did  that  building  belong?  It  belonged  to  cer- 
tain freeholders  on  this  island  who  were  instrumental  in  its  erection. 
All  its  pews  were  under  the  control  of  certain  families,  who  pos- 
sessed the  sole  and  exclusive  right  to  the  same.  In  1806  the  parish 
sought  to  increase  the  seating  capacity  of  the  original  building,  and 
so  they  passed  the  following  resolution:  "Voted  that  the  Pews  occu- 
pied by  Benjamin  Nicoll,  William  Bowditch,  Sylvester  Bering,  and 
James  Havens,  be  made  narrower  so  as  to  make  room  for  a  Pew  in 
front  of  James  Havenses  pew  and  the  next  seat  and  another  in 
front  of  William  Bowditches  Pew  and  the  next  seat,  and  that  the 
Pews  of  Benjamin  Nicoll,  William  Bowditch  and  Sylvester  Bering, 
and  James  Havens  be  moved  back  at  the  expense  of  the  Parish,  to 
be  paid  by  the  Trustees  out  of  the  Public  monies  in  their  hands, 
that  any  person  wishing  to  build  a  pew  in  either  of  these  places, 
left  for  the  purpose,  may  do  it,  by  application  to  the  Trustees  on  the 
following  conditions,  to  wit,  that  they  build  the  pews  at  their  ex- 
pense, keeping  an  exact  account  thereof,  to  be  delivered  to  the 
Trustees,  and  that  they,  their  heirs  and  assigns  have  use,  &c.,  and  oc- 
cupy those  pews  untill  called  for  by  the  Parish,  when  Parish  shall  pay 
the  person  who  built  them,  tlieir  Heirs  and  Assigns,  the  price  the 
Pews  cost,  after  which  they  shall  deliver  them  to  the  society." 
In  1808  the  Parish  sought  to  get  control  of  all  the  pews,  as  the  fol- 
lowing minutes  of  that  date  will  show:  "Voted  that  the  Trustees  con- 
sult the  owners  of  Pews  in  the  Meeting  House,  and  know  of  them  if 
they  will  sell  them,  and  at  what  price,  and  if  all  the  owners  of  Pews 
will  sell,  to  call  a  Parish  meeting  that  the  Parish  may  determine  to 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  ye 

purchase  them  or  not."  The  purchase  was  never  effected;  and  the 
whole  system  of  ownership  continued  until  the  original  building 
passed  out  of  use  because  of  decay. 

Looking  once  more  at  that  inventory,  we  see  that  the  amount  of 
personal  property  is  given  as  £i66  14s.  y^d.,  or  about  $830.  This 
shows  that  the  legacy  of  Brinley  Sylvester,  amounting  to  £100,  given 
in  1752,  had  increased  to  one  and  two-thirds  of  the  original  amount. 
It  continued  to  grow  so  that  the  Trustees  in  the  next  inventory  of 
1793  reported  it  as  about  amounting  to  £188,  or  $940.  The  Society 
was  thus  in  position  to  secure  the  preached  Word,  and  did  so  by  ap- 
plying to  the  Presbytery  of  Long  Island  at  its  spring  meeting,  held 
at  Southampton  Apr.  21,  1789.  The  following  item  is  to  be  found  in 
the  minutes  of  that  date:  "Mr.  John  Taylor,  a  candidate  for  the  min- 
istry from  Connecticut,  was  appointed  to  preach  at  Sag  Harbor 
and  Shelter  Island,  they  applying  for  supplies." 

About  this  time  Mr.  Stephen  Burroughs,  author  of  "Memoirs  of 
Stephen  Burroughs,"  was  engaged  to  teach  school  in  this  place.  He 
speaks  at  some  length  in  his  "Memoirs"  of  his  labors  here  as  a  school 
teacher,  and  mentions  a  number  of  citizens  of  that  date  with  whom 
he  lived  and  mingled. 

Under  date  of  Oct.  ist,  1795,  we  have  the  first  reference  in  our 
Town  records  to  the  slaves  that  were  on  this  island.  According 
to  the  second  census  list  there  were  thirty-three  slaves  on  Shelter 
Island  in  1776.  These  were  owned  as  follows:  five  by  Mr.  Thomas 
Bering,  fourteen  by  Mr.  Nicoll  Havens,  two  by  Mr.  Daniel  Brown, 
ten  by  Mr.  William  Nicoll,  and  two  by  Mr.  Obadiah  Havens. 
Twenty-one  of  these  were  male  and  the  balance  were  female  negroes. 
At  the  close  of  the  Revolution  the  chief  principle  in  the  bringing 
about  of  which  was  "that  all  men  are  created  equal  and  that  they  are 
endowed  by  their  Creator  with  certain  inalienable  rights,  that 
among  these  are  life,  liberty  and  the  pursuit  of  happiness,"  measures 
were  taken  to  abolish  the  custom  of  slavery  which  had  existed 
among  the  various  colonies  from  their  very  inception.  On  Feb- 
ruary 22,  1788,  the  Legislature  of  New  York  passed  an  act  for  the 
manumitting  of  slaves  within  the  Empire  State.  According  to  this 
act,  slaves  under  the  age  of  fifty  years  who  were  physically  able  to 
support  themselves  and  thus  not  liable  to  become  a  charge  upon 
the  Town,  could  be  given  their  freedom  by  their  owners  upon  appli- 
cation to  the  overseers  of  the  poor  and  justices  of  the  peace  of  the 
county,  subject  to  their  approval.     In  accordance  with  this  mea- 


76  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

sure,  on  October  i,  1795,  Mr.  Sylvester  Bering,  Mr.  Henry  Bering 
and  Mr.  Nathaniel  Gardiner  applied  for  the  privilege  of  manu- 
mitting a  negro  woman  slave  called  "Matilda,"  of  which  they  were 
the  owners.  These  gentlemen  being  sons  and  son-in-law  of  Mr. 
Thomas  Bering,  deceased,  had  by  inheritance  come  into  posses- 
sion of  this  slave,  and  now  desired  to  give  her  her  freedom.  The 
privilege  was  granted,  and  Matilda  \vas,  according  to  the  Town 
records,  the  first  slave  to  gain  her  freedom  on  Shelter  Island.  In 
1799  Rensselaer  Havens  sought  the  same  privilege  for  one  of  his 
slaves,  named  "Bick,"  which  was  granted.  The  same  year  Samuel 
B.  Nicoll  released  three  of  his  slaves,  who  were  father,  mother 
and  child,  named  respectively,  Cade,  Elizabeth  and  Armenie.  In 
1801  Besire  Havens  released  a  negro  woman  called  "Fide."  In  1806 
Sylvester  Bering  did  the  same  for  one  called  "Violet,"  while  in  1821 
his  widow  released  a  slave  called  "London."  Under  date  of  June  i. 
1804,  Sylvester  Bering  makes  affidavit  to  the  birth  of  "Achilles,  a 
male  negro  child  born  of  a  slave"  belonging  to  him,  and  born  the 
loth  day  of  February,  1804.  These  comprise  all  the  references  to- 
ward slaves  and  slavery  as  it  existed  on  Shelter  Island  to  be  found 
in  our  Town  records. 

In  1794  it  was  voted  "That  one  years  Interest  of  the  monies 
belonging  to  the  Freeholders  and  Inhabitants  of  this  Town  for  the 
support  of  the  Gospel  be  appropriated  by  the  Trustees  for  that  pur- 
pose: and  paid  into  the  hands  of  Benjamin  Nicoll,  James  Havens 
and  Sylvester  Bering,  who  are  hereby  appointed  our  Committee 
to  procure  a  Person  to  Preach  the  Gospel  in  this  place  and  to  pay 
the  same  as  they  may  agree,  not  exceeding  the  rate  of  four  dollars 
for  each  Sabbath."  The  same  year  we  find  this  curious  entry  in  the 
Town  records:  "At  a  Special  Town  Meeting  (held  April  29th,  1794) 
called  for  the  purpose  of  regulating  the  clam  fishery,  it  was  resolved 
that  a  tax  of  three  pence,  for  every  bushel  of  clams  dug  by  non- 
inhabitants  of  the  island,  the  proceeds  of  which  save  20%  was  to  be 
paid  into  the  hands  of  the  Religious  Society  for  the  purpose  of  sup- 
porting the  gospel  or  maintaining  a  school  on  the  said  island  as 
the  freeholders  and  inhabitants  of  said  island  shall  at  their  annual 
Town  Meetings  direct."  The  way  they,  however,  disposed  of  this 
tax  was  to  repeal  it  the  next  year;  at  the  same  time  directing  what 
revenue  had  been  received  from  it  should  be  placed  in  the  hands 
of  a  School  Committee  consisting  of  William  Bowditch  and  Ezekial 
Havens,  to  be  disposed  of  by  them  for  school  purposes.     The  reso-

Rev.  WHITEFIELD  COWLES 

AND    THE 

Fly-Leaf  of  his  Manuscript  Sermon  Preached  in  the  Oeisinal  Meeting  House 
ON  Shelter  Island,  N.  Y.,  Sunday,  August  21.  1798 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  nn 

lution  passed  by  the  society  this  year  voting  the  interest  of  the 
monies  in  the  hands  of  the  Trustees  to  the  securing  of  a  preacher 
was  repeated  in  1795  and  1796. 

From  the  treasurer's  accounts  we  learn  that  in  response  to  these 
resolutions  the  Rev.  Whitfield  Cowles  preached  on  four  Sabbaths  in 
1796,  for  which  he  received  £4;  and  in  1797  the  Rev.  Jacob  Cram 
preached  one  Sabbath,  for  which  he  was  paid  £1  4s.  In  1798  the 
Rev.  Whitfield  Cowles  preached  again  for  the  society  twenty-four 
Sabbaths,  for  which  he  received  £9  12s.  The  Rev.  Jacob  Cram  was 
the  son  of  Jonathan  Cram,  of  Hampton  Falls,  N.  H.,  born  Oct.  12, 
1762,  a  graduate  of  Dartmouth  College,  in  1782.  After  preaching 
here  he  became  the  pastor  of  the  church  in  Orient.  He  died  in 
Exeter,  N.  H.,  Dec.  21,  1833.  The  Rev.  Whitfield  Cowles  was  the 
son  of  Capt.  Josiah  Cowles,  of  Southington,  Conn.,  born  June  3, 
1764.  He  graduated  from  Yale  College  in  1788,  and  in  1793  re- 
ceived the  degree  of  A.  M.  The  next  year,  1794,  he  was  ordained 
at  East  Granby,  Conn.  The  same  year  he  married  one  of  Shelter 
Island's  fair  daughters,  Miss  Gloriana  Havens.  She  died  in  1802. 
The  following  year  he  married  again,  choosing  for  his  second  wife 
Miss  Desire  Brown,  also  of  Shelter  Island.  Mr.  Cowles'  picture  is 
given  on  the  next  page,  together  with  a  fac-simile  of  the  fly  leaf  of 
one  of  his  sermons  preached  in  the  meeting  house  on  Shelter  Island, 
Aug.  2 1  St,  1798. 

Besides  the  clergymen  already  mentioned  there  were  others  who 
are  known  to  have  occasionally  preached  here,  among  them  being 
the  Rev.  Dr.  Buell,  pastor  of  the  Easthampton  Presbyterian  Church 
from  1746  to  1798.  In  1799  and  1800  Mr.  John  Rudd  taught  school 
on  this  island.  While  here  he  boarded  with  Gen.  Sylvester  Dering, 
who  became  strongly  attached  to  him.  He  was  a  young  man  of 
good  promise,  and  after  leaving  this  place  he  opened  a  school  in 
New  York  City,  where  he  gained  the  good  will  of  Bishop  Moore, 
who  instructed  him  in  divinity,  after  which  he  became  an  Episco- 
palian minister,  subsequently  receiving  the  degree  of  D.  D.  and  be- 
coming the  editor  of  a  religious  paper  called  the  "Christian  Mes- 
senger." The  next  year  the  Parish  sought  to  gain  a  resident 
clergyman  in  the  person  of  the  Rev.  Herman  Daggett  as  preacher 
and  teacher.  Mr.  Daggett  had  labored  at  Southampton  for  a  num- 
ber of  years,  leaving  there  in  1797  and  going  to  Westhampton,  where 
he  labored  until  1801.  The  action  of  the  parish  in  seeking  to  gain 
the  services  of    Mr.  Daggett  was  the  following:  "Voted  that  the 


78  Slielter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

Trustees  be  requested  to  make  application  to  the  Rev.  Herman  Dag- 
gett to  come  and  reside  with  us  as  a  preacher  of  the  Gospel  and  a 
Teacher  of  our  school  for  the  term  of  ten  years.  Voted  that  we  will 
give  the  Rev.  Herman  Daggett  for  Preaching  to  us  on  the  Sabbath, 
and  for  Teaching  our  school  during  the  time  before  mentioned, 
Three  Hundred  and  fifty  Dollars  per  annum,  to  be  raised  in  the  fol- 
lowing manner: 

"The  Trustees  annually  to  open  a  Subscription  and  present  it 
to  all  the  Inhabitants  to  sign  what  they  will  give  for  preaching  each 
Sabbath  for  one  year  or  during  their  residence  on  Shelter  Island, 
the  money  raised  by  this  Subscription  together  with  the  Annual  In- 
terest of  our  Public  monies  to  be  appropriated  as  far  they  will  go 
towards  the  payment  of  Two  Hundred  Dollars  of  the  before  men- 
tioned Salary — and  in  case  the  Subscription  for  the  support  of  the 
Gospel  and  the  Interest  of  the  Public  monies  does  not  amount  to 
the  sum  of  two  Hundred  Dollars,  it  shall  then  be  lawfull  for  the 
Trustees  and  they  are  hereby  authorized  and  required  to  make  up 
the  deficiency  out  of  any  monies  in  their  hands  belonging  to  the 
Freeholders  and  Inhabitants  of  Shelter  Island  and  given  for  the 
support  of  the  Gospel — leaving  the  remaining  part  of  the  salary, 
viz.,  one  hundred  and  Fifty  Dollars  to  be  raised  by  the  Proprietors 
of  the  School — a  true  record  of  the  votes. 

(Seal)  "SYLVESTER    DERING,   Clk." 

About  the  same  time  Mr.  Daggett  received  this  call  or  proposi- 
tion, he  also  received  a  call  from  the  church  at  Middletown,  now 
known  as  Middle  Island,  whither  he  went  and  was  installed  Oct. 
20th,  1 801.  There  he  remained  until  1807  or  9,  when  he  removed  to 
Connecticut.  Dr.  Prime  in  his  history  speaks  of  him  in  the  highest 
terms  as  "a  man  of  sterling  talents,  respectable  acquirements  and 
peculiar  excellence  of  character."  What  the  parish  did  upon  failing 
in  their  eflforts  to  bring  the  Rev.  Herman  Daggett  in  their  midst  we 
cannot  tell.  In  1804  they  made  application  again  to  the  Presbytery 
of  Long  Island,  with  this  result:  "Supplies  were  requested  for  Shel- 
ter Island,  and  Messrs.  Lyman  Beecher,  Joseph  Hazzard,  Daniel 
Hall  and  Zachariah  Green  were  appointed  for  the  purpose.  Mr. 
Foster  also  ofifering  to  supply,  it  was  agreed  that  he  should  take 
one  Sabbath  on  Shelter  Island."  These  men  doubtless  discharged 
their  appointment.  Among  them  are  the  names  of  two  men  who 
have  left  behind  them  an  illustrious  record,  one,  the  Rev.  Dr.  Lyman 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  yg 

Beecher,  as  an  able  theologian  and  the  father  of  a  family  noted  for 
great  preachers,  among  them  the  world-wide  famous  Henry  Ward 
Beecher;  the  other,  Zachariah  Green,  who  is  best  known  as  an  in- 
tense patriot  during  the  Revolutionary  War,  though  at  the  time  of 
its  commencement  but  sixteen  years  of  age.  Of  another  of  these 
brethren,  Daniel  Hall,  I  shall  have  much  to  say  presently.  The  fol- 
lowing year,  or  1805,  the  parish  passed  a  resolution  inviting  the  Rev. 
Benjamin  Bell  to  preach  to  the  inhabitants  for  one  year,  he  to  re- 
ceive for  his  services  three  dollars  per  Sabbath.  Mr.  Bell  responded 
to  this  call  and  preached  for  the  society,  as  is  seen  from  the  treas- 
urer's accounts.  At  the  same  meeting  in  which  the  parish  invited 
the  Rev.  Mr.  Bell,  it  was  voted  that  "the  Trustees  repair  the  meeting 
house  and  pay  for  the  same  out  of  the  Public  monies  in  their  hands 
for  Religious  purposes."  That  this  was  done  the  following  entry 
will  show:  "To  cash  paid  the  Bills  for  shingling  the  Porch  and 
repairing  the  Meeting  House,  £31.0.22."  Another  preacher  who 
served  during  one  Sabbath  was  the  Rev.  Mr.  Boge. 

About  this  time  the  Rev.  Dr.  Timothy  Dwight,  President  of  Yale 
College,  made  a  visit  to  this  island  during  one  of  his  vacation  trips 
through  Long  Island.  His  experiences,  observations  and  impres- 
sions of  these  various  journeys  he  fully  describes  in  a  series  of  vol- 
umes entitled  "Travels  in  New  England  and  New  York."  In  one 
of  these  letters  Dr.  Dwight  speaks  very  fully  of  his  visit  to  Shelter 
Island.  In  those  days  the  ferry  ran  from  Stern's  Point  to  the  nar- 
row neck  of  land  just  opposite  on  the  northern  arm  of  Long  Island. 
The  ferry  was  known  as  "Bushe's  Ferry,"  so  called  because  the 
owner's  name  was  "Boisseau,"  which  was  pronounced  "Busche." 
Not  having  the  patronage  in  those  days  that  the  ferry  enjoys  now  ac- 
counts for  the  poor  or  meagre  accommodations  that  Dr.  Dwight 
found,  for  he  says:  "We  found  the  ferry  had  neither  wharf  nor  ferry 
stairs  on  either  side.  The  shore  was  a  gradual  slope.  We  were 
therefore  obliged  to  ride  to  the  boat,  and  with  much  difficulty  to 
force  our  horses  into  it  by  leading  them  over  the  gunwhale." 

Of  the  island  itself,  after  describing  its  formation,  soil  products, 
etc.,  he  says:  "To  the  credit  of  the  inhabitants,  especially  of  the  prin- 
cipal proprietors,  it  ought  to  be  observed  that  they  have  customarily 
made  considerable  exertions  to  support  schools  and  obtain  the 
preaching  of  the  gospel." 

In  1806  the  Rev.  Daniel  Hall,  of  Sag  Harbor,  where  he  had  been 
pastor  of  the  Presbyterian  church  for  eight  years,  was  asked  to 


8o 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 


become  the  minister  of  the  parish,  according  to  the  following  record: 
"At  a  Parish  Meeting  held  on  Shelter  Island  at  the  Meeting  House 
on  the  5th  of  May,  1806,  to  consult  about  engaging  the  Reverend 
Daniel  Hall  to  preach  to  us  the  ensuing  year;  and  after  examining 
the  subscription  for  his  support,  Voted  that  the  Trustees  of  the  Free- 
holders and  Inhabitants  of  Shelter  Island  invite  the  Rev'd  Daniel 
Hall  to  preach  to  us  for  one  year,  and  that  they  make  the  deficiency 
of  the  subscription  up  to  three  Dollars  a  Sabbath  out  of  the  Parish 
Monies,"  As  that  subscription  list  is  in  existence,  and  is  of  im- 
portance in  many  ways,  I  give  it  here  as  follows :

The  Rev.  Mr.  Hall  had  just  been  released  from  his  pastoral 
duties  at  Sag  Harbor  by  the  Presbytery  upon  his  own  request.  He 
was  the  first  settled  pastor  of  that  church,  beginning  his  labors  there 
in  1797  and  continuing  there  until  his  removal  to  Shelter  Island  in 
1806.  Here  he  remained  and  served  until  his  death  in  1812.  Mr. 
Hall  has  left  an  undying  record  behind  him  in  the  organization  of 
this  church,  which  he  effected  in  1808.  In  two  years  after  his  com- 
ing the  condition  of  spiritual  things  had  so  far  advanced  as  to  make 
the  organization  of  a  church  possible  by  the  adoption,  on  Sept.  28th, 
1808,  of  the  following  Confession  of  Faith  and  Church  Covenant: 


Sh-elter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  8i 

"Whereas  it  hath  pleased  God  to  favour  us  with  the  public  ad- 
ministrations of  his  word,  and  considering  the  obligations  that  all  are 
under,  who  have  hope  in  the  mercy  of  God  through  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  and  desirous  of  the  advancement  and  prosperity  of  his  King- 
dom, have  severally  agreed  to  the  following  articles  of  Faith  and 
Covenant  conformable  to  the  order  and  discipline  of  the  Presby- 
terian Church  as  established  in  the  United  States: 

ARTICLES  OF  FAITH. 

"We  do  profess  and  solemnly  believe  that  there  is  only  one  living 
and  true  God  subsisting  in  three  persons,  the  Father,  the  Son,  and 
the  Holy  Ghost. 

"That  the  Scriptures  of  the  Old  and  New  Testaments  is  the 
Word  of  God,  and  the  only  infallible  rule  of  Faith  and  practice. 

"That  the  original  state  of  mankind  was  that  of  purity  and  hap- 
piness; but  through  the  disobedience  of  the  first  Adam,  his  whole 
posterity  are  fallen  into  a  state  of  sin  and  misery,  exposed  to  all  the 
evils  of  the  present  state,  and  condemnation  of  the  future. 

"That  God  of  his  abundant  mercy  hath  sent  his  Son  to  redeem 
and  save  that  which  was  lost,  and  that  all  who  truly  believe  in  him 
are  justified,  saved  and  accepted  of  God,  and  continuing  in  the  faith 
will  have  an  open  entrance  into  his  Heavenly  Kingdom. 

"That  God  hath  appointed  a  day  in  which  he  will  judge  the 
world  in  righteousness,  by  that  man  whom  he  hath  ordained  to  be 
the  Judge  of  quick  and  dead,  that  then  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  will 
admit  the  Righteous  to  the  full  enjoyment  of  his  Heavenly  King- 
dom, and  will  sentence  the  wicked  to  everlasting  punishment. 

THE  COVENANT. 

"We  do  now  as  we  humbly  hope  in  divine  mercy  avouch  the 
Lord  to  be  our  God,  trusting  alone  for  acceptance  through  the 
mediation  of  his  dear  Son,  promising  as  God  may  enable  us  to  walk 
in  all  the  commandments  and  ordinances  of  the  Lord,  to  have  our 
hearts  united  to  the  people  of  God,  to  love  and  treat  them  as  breth- 
ren, and  in  common  with  ourselves  as  members  of  the  mistical  body 
of  Christ. 

"We  promise  to  submit  ourselves  to  the  government  of  the 
Church  of  Christ,  and  to  this  Church  in  particular,  to  walk  towards

each  other  in  the  fellowship  of  the  Gospel  and  to  seek  in  all  things 
its  spiritual  peace  and  prosperity,  so  long  as  God  in  his  providence 
shall  continue  our  relation  with  them." 

The  following  persons  appeared,  and  after  having  heard  the  fore- 
going Articles  of  Faith  and  Covenant  read,  assented  to  them  and 
requested  their  names  inserted,  viz.: 

Rev.  Daniel  Hall,  Pastor. 

Lucretia  Hall,  his  wife.

Esther  Case. 

To  this  body  of  believers  the  Sacrament  of  the  Lord's  Supper 
was  administered  by  Mr.  Hall  on  Sunday,  October  i6th,  1808. 
Though  Congregational  in  form,  it  strongly  leaned  towards  the 
Presbyterian  fold  from  the  very  beginning,  the  preamble  of  its  Con- 
fession mentioning  that  body  as  its  model.  Mr.  Hall  continued  his 
connection  with  the  Presbytery  of  Long  Island  until  his  death.- 
That  Presbytery  had  now  for  many  years  exercised  a  kindly  over- 
sight over  the  religious  affairs  of  this  island.  As  early  as  1747  it 
had  met  by  the  good  will  of  the  inhabitants  on  this  island  by  com- 
mission. 

Again,  in  1766,  when  it  ordained  the  Rev.  Elam  Potter.  It  was 
repeatedly  petitioned  by  the  people  of  Shelter  Island  to  appoint 
preachers  to  this  place,  which  requests  it  cordially  complied  with, 
as  has  already  been  seen,  and  now  in  less  than  two  years  after  the 
organization  of  the  Church  Presbytery  holds  its  spring  meeting 
upon  Shelter  Island  under  date  of  April  i8th,  1810.  The  opening 
sermon  of  that  session  of  Presbytery  was  preached  by  the  Rev. 
Jonathan  Huntting,  at  that  time  pastor  of  the  church  at  Southold, 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  83 

and  who  was  destined  twenty  years  later  to  be  the  Stated  Supply 
for  a  period  of  years  to  this  very  church.  Rev.  Mr.  Hall  continued 
his  labors  here  with  marked  success  until  his  death,  which  occurred 
Jan.  20,  1812,  from  tetanus,  caused  by  the  amputation  of  a  can- 
cerous foot.  Dr.  Prime,  who  was  his  successor  in  the  pastorate  of 
the  Sag  Harbor  Presbyterian  Church,  speaks  of  him  as  having  been 
a  "remarkably  affectionate  preacher;  a  son  of  consolation  rather  than 
a  Boanerges."  His  remains  were  buried  in  our  south  church-yard, 
and  over  his  grave  was  raised  a  tablet  bearing  this  inscription: 

"Sacred  to  the  Memory  of 

Rev.  Daniel  Hall, 

Who  died  Jan.  20,  1812. 

Ae  64. 

"In  all  the  various  relations  of  life  he  lived  like  a  Christian. 
As  a  husband  and  parent  he  was  tender  and  affectionate.  As  a 
neighbor  and  friend,  he  was  kind  and  benevolent.  As  a  citizen  he 
was  truly  patriotic,  and  as  a  minister  of  Jesus,  he  was  faithful  unto 
death." 

Mr.  Hall  was  born  in  New  London,  Conn.,  Sept.  19th,  1747.  He 
was  the  son  of  Jonathan  and  Alice  Hall.  He  left  a  widow,  two 
sons,  John  and  William,  and  three  daughters,  Sophronia,  Lucretia 
and  Mary. 

Sophronia  married  Charles  Doughlass,  of  Sag  Harbor,  and  Lu- 
cretia married  Capt.  David  Brown,  of  the  same  place.  -  This  doubt- 
less led  to  Mrs.  Hall's  removal  to  Sag  Harbor,  where  she  died  on 
Sept.  4th,  1825,  aged  76,  her  remains  being  brought  to  this  island 
for  interment  alongside  those  of  her  'husband,  where  they  now  lie 
with  a  host  of  others  awaiting  the  resurrection  morn.  All  of  the 
original  members  of  this  church  have  long  since  passed  to  their  re- 
ward. The  first  person  of  that  band  of  fifteen  to  be  called  away  was 
Mrs.  Mehitable  King,  wife  of  Ephraim  King,  who  died  in  less  than 
four  months  after  the  organization,  namely.  Feb.  2d,  1809,  aged 
y;^  years.  The  husband  died  July  8th,  1820.  Their  bodies  were  at 
first  buried  in  the  south  church-yard,  but  afterwards  removed  to  Sag 
Harbor. 

The  year  following  the  organization  of  this  church  steps  were 
taken  at  a  special  meeting  of  the  parish,  held  the  6th  of  June,  1809, 
to  procure  a  new  meeting  house,  the  trustees  being  then  directed 
to  pass  a  subscription  paper  among  the  people,  with  the  condition 


]\^ 


84  SJvelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

that  their  subscriptions  would  not  be  binding  unless  at  least  one 
thousand  dollars  were  subscribed.  This  effort,  however,  did  not 
succeed.  Perhaps  because  once  more  the  national  skies  were  grow- 
ing dark  by  the  appearance  of  a  war  cloud  which  did  burst  in  storm 
upon  the  people,  and  once  more  Shelter  Island  became  the  butt  of 
the  enemy's  abuse  and  destruction.  For  like  in  the  war  of  the  Revo- 
lution, another  fleet  of  British  warships  made  Gardiner's  Bay  their 
anchorage  and  headquarters.  Among  them  were  the  Ramesis, 
Maidstone,  Sylph  Thunderer,  Pantagenet  and  the  brig  Boxer. 
These  blockaded  the  whole  eastern  coast,  from  Fisher's  Island  to 
Montauk,  and  sought  to  destroy  the  neighboring  villages,  sending 
ofif  their  barges  by  night  and  by  day.  Under  the  cover  of  darkness 
they  made  an  assault  upon  Sag  Harbor,  setting  fire  to  its  wharfs, 
but  were  driven  off  by  the  soldiers  stationed  there,  among  whom 
were  a  number  of  men  recruited  from  this  island.  The  national 
forces  sought  to  blow  up  the  flagship  of  this  squadron,  which  was 
the  Ramesis,  by  the  use  of  a  torpedo  sent  down  the  sound  from 
New  York.  The  effort,  however,  failed,  from  the  torpedo  getting 
ashore  a  little  to  the  northwest  of  Greenport.  One  of  the  British 
ships,  the  Sylph,  was  sent  out  to  destroy  it,  and  did  so,  after  which  it 
cruised  around  the  eastern  end  of  Long  Island.  While  running 
around  Montauk  Point  on  Jan.  17th,  181 5,  she  went  ashore  on  the 
south  side  of  Long  Island  and  became  a  total  wreck.  Out  of  her 
crew  of  one  hundred  and  twenty-one  men  only  six  were  saved. 
Among  the  lost  were  the  following  officers:  Captain  George  Dick- 
ens, commanding  ol^cer;  Lieutenant  George  Butt,  Lieutenant  H.  S. 
Marsham,  Mr.  James  Still,  surgeon;  Mr.  Thomas  Atwell,  master. 
Indirectly  that  torpedo  did  its  work.  The  man  who  brought  it  down 
the  Sound  was  named  "Penny."  He  lived  at  Northwest  in  a  lonely 
place.  The  British  found  him  out  and  one  night  took  him  prisoner. 
He  was  transported  to  Halifax,  where  he  was  held  a  prisoner  until 
the  end  of  the  war. 

As  in  the  Revolution  so  in  the  war  of  181 2,  the  enemy  would 
K  come  ashore  on  this  island,  day  or  night,  and  confiscate  cattle, 

sheep,  and  whatever  else  they  wanted.  It  was  another  season  of 
trial  and  suffering  to  our  fair  isle.  One  night  the  enemy  went  ashore 
on  Gull  Island  and  threw  the  lamps  of  the  lighthouse  into  the  sea. 
But  they  paid  dearly  for  this  act  of  vandalism,  as  one  of  their 
barges  ran  ashore  on  Plum  Island,  resulting  in  its  loss,  together 
with  several  of  its  crew.     Their  bodies  were  found  shortly  after  by 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  85 

others  from  the  squadron  and  buried  on  the  east  side  of  that  island. 
Over  the  grave  of  one  was  set  a  marker,  upon  which  was  inscribed 
the  following  epitaph: 

"Safely  at  anchor  here  I  lay 
With  several  of  our  fleet, 
And  here  will  lie  till  I  set  sail 
My  Admiral  Christ  to  meet." 

Of  course  such  wanton  destruction  of  our  beacon  light  had  to 
be  repaid  in  some  way.  So  the  Yankees  bought  an  old  square 
rigged  vessel,  and  fixing  a  magazine  in  her  hold,  so  connected  that 
upon  raising  the  hatches,  it  would  explode,  sailed  her  as  near  the 
fleet  as  they  dared,  and  then  under  cover  of  darkness  abandoned 
her.  When  the  enemy  noticed  the  vessel  they  put  ofif  in  boats  and 
brought  her  alongside  of  the  fleet.  Then  a  number  of  offlcers  went 
aboard  and  started  to  raise  the  hatches,  when  the  magazine  ex- 
ploded with  terrific  force,  blowing  the  men  into  the  sea  to  their 
destruction  and  the  vessel  to  the  bottom  of  the  waters.  The  British 
were  so  incensed  that  they  sent  their  barges  up  the  Connecticut  the 
next  night  and  burned  every  vessel  that  they  found  as  far  up  as 
Deep  River. 

Mr.  Lodowick  Havens,  from  whose  personal  record  these  facts 
have  been  culled,  says  the  sound  of  that  explosion  was  like  an 
earthquake.  The  British  sent  an  order  ashore  on  this  island  for  the 
people  to  immediately  furnish  a  lot  of  provisions,  but  little  heed 
at  that  time  was  given  to  it,  as  the  people  felt  that  the  three  com- 
panies of  soldiers  stationed  at  Sag  Harbor  were  abundantly  able 
to  protect  them.  Every  man,  however,  on  the  island,  kept  his  gun 
and  bayonet  in  the  room  where  he  slept,  and  carried  it  with  him  to 
meeting  when  there  was  one,  which  under  such  conditions  was 
not  often.  When  peace  was  again  restored  in  1814,  the  people  once 
more  assembled  in  jubilee,  only  this  time  instead  of  on  Prospect 
Heights  they  met  in  the  mansion  of  Gen.  Sylvester  Bering.  It  is 
not  to  be  wondered  at  that  in  the  presence  of  such  a  state  of  public 
affairs  the  attempt  at  procuring  a  new  meeting  house,  set  on  foot 
in  1809,  should  have  failed.  The  year  following  the  restoration  of 
peace,  however,  namely,  181 5,  the  effort  was  renewed.  Of  this 
we  shall  speak  later  on. 

A  little  more  than  two  months  after  Mr.  Hall's  death,  in  1812, 
this  church  took  steps  towards  being  fully  organized  according  to 


86  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

Presbyterian  polity,  with  the  view  of  being  received  into  the  Pres- 
bytery of  Long  Island.  "At  a  meeting  of  the  congregation  of  Shel- 
ter Island  on  Friday,  March  27th,  1812,  being  a  day  of  fasting  and 
prayer,  voted  (the  subject  having  previously  been  under  consider- 
tion  a  suitable  time)  'that  it  is  their  wish  and  desire  that  the  church 
should  be  regularly  organized  with  officers  upon  Presbyterian  prin- 
ciples, and  become  regularly  connected  with  the  Presbytery  of 
Long  Island.'  They  also  proceeded  to  the  choice  of  three  Elders 
and  two  deacons,  and  General  Sylvester  Bering,  Jonathan  Dough- 
lass  and  Lodowick  Havens  were  chosen  Elders,  and  the  two  former 
Deacons.  The  above  persons  having  declared  their  acceptance 
of  this  appointment  were  at  the  same  time  solemnly  ordained  accord- 
ing to  the  Directory." 

They  were  ordained  by  the  Rev.  Aaron  Woolworth,  D.  D., 
pastor  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  of  Bridgehampton,  who  by  re- 
quest attended  and  presided  on  that  occasion.  Upon  being  duly 
elected  and  installed  into  their  sacred  office  these  elders  the  next 
day,  March  28th,  made  application  to  the  Presbytery  of  Long 
Island,  on  behalf  of  the  church,  "to  be  received  into  that  body  agree- 
able to  the  above  resolution." 

Presbytery  met  that  year  at  Huntington  on  April  9th,  181 2, 
when  the  application  was  received  and  acted  upon  as  follows: 
"A  communication  from  the  Church  at  Shelter  Island  was  received 
containing  a  request  that  they  might  be  received  into  connection 
with  the  Presbytery.  The  Presbytery  having  ascertained  that  the 
proceedings  of  that  church  were  regular,  resolved  to  grant  their 
request,  and  they  are  thereby  accordingly  received."  And  since 
that  time  down  to  the  present,  a  period  of  eighty-six  years,  this 
church  has  maintained  its  relation  with  that  great  branch  of  the 
Christian  Church  with  dignity  and  honor. 

Dr.  Woolworth  has  left  on  record  a  personal  account  of  Mr. 
Hairs  ministry  and  the  organization  of  this  church,  which  is  of  such 
importance  that  it  may  well  be  added  here:  "Rev.  Daniel  Hall's  min- 
istry, though  short,  was  connected  with  salutary  effects.  The  public 
worship  was  well  attended  and  the  moral  state  of  society  much  im- 
proved. Nor  were  individual  instances  of  conviction  and  hopeful 
conversion  wanting.  By  Mr.  Hall's  exertion  a  church  was  first 
formed  which  had  before  been  supposed  that  the  number  of  pro- 
fessors was  so  small  as  to  render  such  an  attempt  inefficient.  This 
may  be  considered  as  the  dawn  of  that  brighter  day  which  has  since 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  87 

opened  upon  you.  The  standard  of  the  cross  was  now  in  manner 
and  form  erected,  and  the  King  of  Zion  sanctioned  it,  by  many 
unequivocal  tokens  of  his  approbation  which  have  followed.  Some 
small  additions  were  made  to  the  church  during  Mr.  Hall's  minis- 
try, and  the  little  band  walking  in  fellowship  of  the  gospel  were 
edified. 

"His  death,  which  took  place  in  January,  1812,  was  considered 
as  a  severe  rebuke  of  heaven,  both  by  the  church  and  congregation, 
by  whom  he  was  much  esteemed  and  loved.  This  mournful  event 
it  is  believed  was  sanctified  and  made  the  means  of  leading  Chris- 
tians to  a  more  feeling  sense  of  their  dependence  upon  God,  and 
exciting  them  to  greater  steadfastness  in  prayer.  In  the  following 
spring  the  church  was  more  completely  organized  by  the  choice 
and  public  consecration  of  elders,  which  from  the  smallness  of  its 
numbers  had  hitherto  been  delayed.  Well,  my  brethren,  do  you 
and  I  remember  the  solemnities  of  that  day.  The  sacrament  of  the 
Lord's  Supper  had  just  been  administered,  and  after  the  ordination 
of  the  session  they  were  publicly  asked  whether  they  would  engage 
to  maintain  public  worship  on  the  Sabbath,  when  there  should  be 
no  preaching,  a  thing  which  had  never  before  been  observed,  to 
which  under  a  deep  and  solemn  sense  of  duty  they  consented  on 
supposition  that  the  people  wished  it.  The  proposal  was  made  to 
the  congregation,  who  by  a  unanimous  vote  expressed  their  desire 
of  this  arrangement  and  engaged  to  countenance  and  encourage  it. 
Accordingly  since  that  time  the  public  worship  has  been  uniformly 
kept  up,  and  in  general  been  well  attended,  and  there  is  reason  to 
believe  the  special  blessing  of  God  has  accompanied  it." 

And  now  we  have  reached  the  time  when  our  beloved  church 
became  fully  organized  as  a  Presbyterian  church  and  in  organic 
relation  with  the  Presbytery  of  Long  Island  and  the  great  Presby- 
terian Church  of  the  United  States  of  America.  Thus  far  our  re- 
view has  been  largely  devoted  to  the  birth  and  life  of  this  island 
as  the  charming  abode  of  the  white  man.  We  have  gone  into  its 
civil  history  with  increased  delight,  and  would  find  pleasure  in 
pursuing  it  down  to  the  present  time.  But  that  is  not  according 
to  our  purpose.  That  purpose  is  to  trace  out  the  record  of  Shelter 
Island  down  to  the  organization  of  this  Society,  and  from  that  point 
to  confine  the  record  to  the  Presbyterian  church.  We  have  there- 
fore reached  the  time  when  ecclesiastical  and  civil  matters  becoming 
distinct  from  each  other,  w^e  must  bid  the  latter  an  aflfectionate 


88  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

"good  bye."  We  can  say  to  the  civil  part  of  our  research,  that  if 
we  shall  find  the  ecclesiastical  as  interesting,  creditable,  yea,  glori- 
ous, we  shall  have  lasting  cause  for  thanksgiving  to  the  Almighty, 
who  shapes  our  ends,  and  in  shaping  them  made  those  of  the  writer 
to  rvm  across  this  place,  which  when  He  formed  He  so  lavishly 
beautified  for  the  comfort,  repose  and  rejuvenation  of  mankind.

CHAPTER   V. 

We  will  begin  the  ecclesiastical  part  of  these  historical  papers 
with  the  erection  of  the  present  church  building.  Upon  the  close 
of  the  second  war  with  Great  Britain,  in  1814,  the  effort  begun  in 
1809  to  procure  a  new  meeting  house,  and  which  had  been  inter- 
rupted by  the  war,  was  once  more  taken  up  by  the  circulation  of 
the  following  subscription  paper,  with  its  accompanying  result: 

"Shelter  Island,  September,  1815. 
"Whereas  the  House  of  Public  Worship  on  Shelter  Island  is 
too  small  comfortably  to  accommodate  the  Inhabitants,  and  so  gone 
to  decay  as  to  render  it  very  uncomfortable  in  wet  and  cold  weather, 
and  it  being  judged  vmiit  to  repair  and  enlarge,  we  the  subscribers 
do  agree  to  pay  on  demand  the  several  sums  affixed  to  our  names, 
to  the  Trustees  of  the  Freeholders  and  inhabitants  of  Shelter  Island, 
as  a  donation  towards  building  a  new  Meeting  Plouse,  or  place  of 
Public  Worship  on  said  Island,  and  that  as  soon  as  the  Trustees 
judge  that  a  sufficient  sum  is  subscribed  and  collected  to  commence 
the  building,  they  shall  call  a  meeting  of  the  Society  for  the  pur- 
pose of  agreeing  upon  a  place  for  the  Building,  and  the  choice  of 
a  Committee  to  purchase  materials,  and  to  contract  with  persons  to 
build  the  same.  The  House  to  belong  to  the  Society,  and  to  be  regu- 
lated by  them  agreeably  to  the  laws  of  this  State,  in  such  case  made 
and  provided,  and  in  case  more  money  should  be  subscribed  and 
collected  than  is  necessary,  the  overplus  to  be  added  to  the  fund  for 
the  support  of  the  Gospel  on  Shelter  Island."

In  less  than  three  months  from  the  date  of  the  foregoing  sub- 
scription paper  all  this  had  been  gathered  together.  The  Trustees, 
judging  that  a  sufficient  sum  had  been  subscribed  and  collected  to 
commence  the  building,  gave  public  notice  of  a  meeting  of  the  so- 
ciety to  be  held  in  the  school  house  on  Friday,  Dec.  8th,  181 5,  at 
3  o'clock  P.  M.  The  meeting  was  held  according  to  appointment, 
but  that  a  more  general  attendance  of  the  Society  might  be  gained, 
adjourned  without  action  for  one  week,  or  until  Dec.  15th,  at  which 
time  the  Society,  having  made  choice  of  William  Bowditch  as  mod- 
erator and  Sylvester  Dering  as  clerk,  passed  the  following  resolu- 
tions: "Resolved,  that  the  Meeting  House  to  be  erected  shall  be 


Q2  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

built  on  the  Land  where  the  old  Meeting  House  now  stands.  Re- 
solved, that  Sylvester  Bering,  William  Bowditch,  Samuel  Lord, 
Jonathan  Doughlass  and  Henry  Conklin  be  a  committee  to  receive 
the  monies  subscribed  for  building  said  Meeting  House  from  the 
hands  of  the  Trustees,  and  to  build  the  said  Meeting  House  of  such 
dimensions  and  materials  as  the  Committee  or  a  majority  of  them 
shall  agree." 

A  few  days  after  the  subscription  paper  began  to  be  circulated 
a  violent  storm  swept  over  this  island,  something  like  a  tornado,  in 
those  days  called  the  "great  September  gale."  This  storm  felled 
a  large  number  of  Shelter  Island's  most  stately  trees.  Many  of 
these  belonged  to  Gen.  Sylvester  Bering,  and  these  he  generously 
donated  to  the  Society  for  use  in  the  proposed  building.  Out  of 
them  was  hewn  the  massive  timbers  that  form  the  enduring  frame 
of  our  present  building.  "The  stars,"  said  the  Rev.  Mr.  Harries, 
"the  stars  in  their  courses  fought  for  them,  and  the  fierce  winds  of 
heaven  brought  them  the  oaks  of  Bashan  and  the  cedars  of  Le- 
banon." It  is  indeed  an  ill  wind  that  blows  nobody  good.  God 
encouraged  the  Society  in  its  purpose  to  erect  a  new  sanctuary  for 
His  praise  in  felling  the  necessary  trees  for  its  frame  upon  the  estate 
of  one  whom  He  knew  had  His  cause  greatly  at  heart,  and  who 
would  generously  donate  them  for  that  purpose.  The  building 
committee  having  funds  and  material  at  hand  went  immediately  to 
work,  and  in  less  than  fifteen  months  the  building  was  finished  and 
ready  for  its  furnishings.  To  do  this  an  additional  five  hundred 
dollars  was  necessary,  which  the  parish,  at  a  meeting  held  March  14, 
1817,  unanimously  authorized  the  trustees  to  borrow  upon  the  note 
of  the  corporation. 

Buring  the  year  1816,  in  which  the  building  was  under  construc- 
tion, a  remarkable  revival  of  religion  was  experienced  on  this  island. 
Between  forty  and  fifty  persons  were  hopefully  converted,  or  as  the 
record  notes  it,  "made  to  bow  to  the  sceptre  of  Jesus."  The  origin 
of  this  work  of  grace  began  in  the  conversion  of  a  husband  and  wife 
in  the  early  part  of  the  year  181 5.  These  two  persons  were  highly 
connected,  and  the  marked  change  in  their  life  greatly  impressed 
the  community  with  the  power  of  religion.  Soon  a  third  person 
became  seriously  concerned  about  salvation  and  moved  towards 
Christ.  This  deepened  the  impression  upon  the  people  and  pre- 
pared the  way  for  a  monthly  prayer  meeting.  This  third  person 
was  a  young  woman  whose  conversion  Br.  Woolworth  speaks  of 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  03 

as  remarkable.  The  summer  came,  bringing  an  increased  interest 
in  public  worship.  The  work  of  the  Lord  continued  to  spread  and 
prosper  through  the  fall  to  such  a  degree  that  by  the  time  Christmas 
had  arrived  the  people,  instead  of  spending  the  evenings  of  that 
week  in  festivity  and  mirth,  as  they  were  wont  to  do,  they  spent 
them  in  prayer  and  other  religious  exercises,  which  "most  of  the 
young  people  attended,  and  the  meetings  were  solemn  and  marked 
with  animating  tokens  of  divine  presence.  Things  remained  much 
in  this  state  until  February,  1816  (I  am  now  quoting  from  Dr. 
Woolworth's  dedicatory  sermon,  preached  in  1817),  when  the 
spirit  of  the  Lord  was  poured  out  as  on  the  day  of  Pentecost.  The 
work  commenced  in  the  school-house  (then  under  the  charge  of  Mr. 
Samuel  Phillips,  a  young  man  of  ardent  piety,  and  who  subsequently 
became  editor  and  proprietor  of  the  'Republican  Watchman'). 
The  mind  of  one  of  the  scholars  was  so  deeply  impressed  as  to  con- 
strain him  to  cry  out  and  request  the  teacher  to  pray  for  him.  This 
disclosure  soon  discovered  that  the  minds  of  many  others  were  the 
subjects  of  very  special  religious  impressions.  The  usual  exercises 
of  the  school  the  rest  of  the  day  were  suspended  and  the  time  de- 
voted to  prayer,  reading  the  Scriptures  and  religious  conversation. 
Persons  in  the  immediate  neighborhood  came  in  and  were  deeply 
affected  with  what  they  witnessed.  The  dismission  of  the  school 
at  night  carried  the  news  of  the  wonderful  things  which  had  taken 
place  into  most  of  the  families  on  the  island.  Much  the  same  scenes 
were  renewed  the  next  day  at  the  school-house.  Many  came  to  see 
and  hear  and  were  convinced  that  what  they  saw  and  heard  was 
indeed  the  work  of  God.  Deep  solemnity  rested  upon  the  minds 
of  almost  all  the  inhabitants.  Religious  meetings  were  at  first  at- 
tended every  day  or  evening  and  thronged  by  multitudes  anxiously 
inquiring,  'What  shall  we  do  to  be  saved?'  The  revival  thus  begun 
continued  in  great  power  for  months.  The  occasional  preaching  of 
the  Word,  which  was  now  frequently  enjoyed,  and  other  public 
religious  exercises,  were  attended  with  surprising  efifects.  While 
scarcely  an  individual  in  the  whole  limits  of  the  congregation  could 
be  found  indifferent  and  secure,  great  numbers  were  the  subjects 
of  deep  and  distressing  convictions,  under  the  influence  of  which 
they  were  led  to  affecting  discoveries  of  their  lost  estate  in  them- 
selves— the  infinite  evil  of  sin — the  plague  of  their  own  hearts — their 
perishing  need  of  an  interest  in  Christ,  and  in  order  to  this  of  being 
renewed  by  the  power  of  divine  grace  in  the  spirit  of  their  minds. 


gA  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

In  this  state  of  humiliation  the  mercy  of  God  appeared  for  those 
who  were  brought  out  of  darkness  into  marvellous  light.  The 
enmity  of  their  hearts  was  slain,  and  their  minds  enlightened  in 
the  spiritual  knowledge  of  God  and  divine  things.  The  result  of 
which  was  unfeigned  submission  and  self-consecration  to  God,  all 
issuing  in  repentance  towards  Him,  faith  in  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ 
and  that  composure,  peace  and  joy  of  mind  which  these  divine 
graces  and  that  standing  in  the  new  covenant  which  they  ensure, 
never  fail  to  inspire.  Though  the  experience  of  individuals  in  cir- 
cumstantial things  was  very  different,  in  essentials  there  was  a 
remarkable  sameness.  All  embraced  and  rejoiced  in  the  gospel  as 
a  system  of  free  grace  in  all  its  parts,  intended  to  humble  the  creature 
and  exalt  the  glorious  Creator.  In  the  course  of  this  revival  as 
many  as  fifty  obtained  hope  of  such  a  reconciliation  to  God. 
Among  these  were  not  a  few  of  the  stout-hearted,  and  such  as  were 
indeed  far  from  righteousness.  But  in  this  day  of  the  mighty  power 
and  sovereign  grace  of  God,  they  were  made  willing  and  brought  to 
bow  as  loyal  subjects  to  the  sceptre  of  the  Pnnce  of  Peace.  The 
additions  made  to  the  church  were  between  forty  and  fifty,  and  the 
more  immediate  fruits  of  this  work  of  grace  were  a  great  external 
reformation,  both  moral  and  religious — the  prevalence  of  a  spirit 
of  brotherly  love — and  a  great  increase  of  knowledge  as  to  the  pe- 
culiar and  appropriate  doctrines  of  the  gospel."  It  was  indeed  a 
wonderful  work  of  grace.  Oh  that  it  might  be  repeated  in  our  day ! 
In  April  of  that  year,  namely,  1816,  the  Rev.  Stephen  Tracy,  a  Con- 
gregational minister,  renewed  his  labors  on  this  island,  having 
preached  here  the  previous  year.  On  May  5th,  after  divine  service 
at  a  parish  meeting,  he  was  engaged  to  preach  for  six  months  from 
April  28th.  He  arrived  in  the  midst  of  the  great  revival,  and  is 
accredited  with  accomplishing  two  very  important  matters  for  this 
church.  "One  was  the  gathering  into  the  church  of  the  fruits  of  the 
great  revival  of  the  winter  of  181 6,  and  the  other  was  the  building 
of  this  sanctuary."  Rev.  Stephen  Tracy  was  born  in  Norwich, 
Conn.,  in  the  year  1749.  He  graduated  from  Princeton  College  in 
1770.  The  same  year  he  began  his  ministry  at  Peru,  Mass.,  where 
he  was  ordained  in  1772.  Here  he  remained  until  1775.  Became 
pastor  at  Norwich  (now  Huntington),  Mass.,  May  23,  1781,  and 
remained  there  until  January  ist,  1799.  After  that  he  labored  as  a 
home  missionary  until  his  death,  in  1822.

Without  doubt  the  results  of  that  great  awakening  of  1816  had 
much  to  do  with  the  erection  and  completion  of  the  church  building. 
True,  it  had  been  proposed  and  set  on  foot  before  the  revival  began, 
and  considerable  subscription  and  material  had  been  gathered  for  it. 
Yet  faint  were  the  hopes,  even  by  its  best  friends,  that  the  project 
would  be  so  soon  accomplished,  if  accomplished  at  all.  Such  is  the 
testimony  of  Dr.  Woolworth.  We  need  to  remember  that  the  com- 
munity at  this  date  was  still  a  small  one,  numbering  only  between  two 
and  three  hundred  people,  and  that  for  them  such  an  effort  was  in- 
deed a  great  undertaking.  But  the  coming  of  that  gracious  out- 
pouring of  the  Holy  Spirit  united  the  hearts  and  hands  of  the 
people  in  their  purpose  and  inspired  them  to  success  to  the  de- 
gree that  in  a  little  over  a  year  from  the  time  of  starting  the 
work  was  completed.  It  was  considered  by  all  a  great  achieve- 
ment for  this  community,  and  has  been  so  spoken  of  to  me  by  some 
of  the  older  persons  in  our  midst. 

The  amount  expended  in  the  erection  of  that  building  was  nearly 
four  thousand  dollars.  And  now  that  it  is  finished  we  turn  our 
attention  to  its  description  and  dedication.  For  information  con- 
cerning these  things  I  must  rely  on  the  historical  discourses  that  the 
Rev.  Mr.  Harries  delivered  in  1871.  Speaking  of  the  edifice  he  says: 
*Tt  was  fifteen  feet  shorter  than  what  it  is  to-day.  On  each  side 
of  the  platform  were  four  seats.  In  front  of  it  was  a  platform  about 
ten  inches  high,  on  the  outer  edge  of  which  was  a  paneled  breast- 
work elevated  nearly  four  feet,  with  a  small  desk  in  the  middle 
directly  in  front  of  the  pulpit,  for  the  use  of  the  elders  when  read- 
ing and  of  the  chorister  when  singing.  This  enclosure  was  called 
'the  altar' — as  great  a  misnomer  as  to  call  Christ's  ambassadors 
'priests.'  There  were  forty  seats  before  the  pulpit  and  four  each 
side  of  it,  making  forty-eight.  The  first  range  on  the  south  end, 
consisting  of  four  seats,  were  reserved  by  the  trustees  for  the  col- 
ored people,  and  the  next  range  for  'any  white  person.'  The  body 
pews  were  assessed  at  $2  each  and  the  'long  side  pews'  at  $3.50. 
They  were  rented  on  the  20th  of  June,  at  a  meeting  appointed  for 
the  purpose.  The  attendance  was  very  large  and  the  demand  for 
seats  pressing.  The  four  reserved  free  for  'any  white  person'  were 
consequently  rented.  All  but  two  were  sold  at  a  premium,  some  of 
which  were  forty  per  cent,  above  the  assessed  value,  the  whole  to  be 
cancelled  at  the  expiration  of  twelve  months,  but  next  year  it  was 
to  be  paid  quarterly."

Articles  of  Vendue  Respecting  the  Sale  of  the  Pews  in  the  Meeting 
House  on  Shelter  Island  Agreed  to  by  the  Trustees,  June  20,  1817. 
The  sale  of  the  Pews  to  be  for  one  year.  The  Pews  to  be  set  up  by  any  person 
at  the  price  set  on  them  by  the  Committee,  and  if  no  person  will  give  any  more,  to 
be  struck  off  to  them,  but  any  one  has  a  right  to  bid  and  the  highest  bidder  to  have 
the  Pew. 

The  money  for  which   the   Pews  are  sold  is  to  be  paid  at  the  end  of  the  year, 
and  it  is  expected  the  money  will  be  punctually  paid  to  the  Trustees  without  putting 
the  Parish  to  the  expense  of  collecting.              By  order  of  the  Trustees, 
SYLVESTER  DERING,  Clerk. 

"On  the  17th  of  the  following  month,  namely,  the  17th  of  July, 
1817,  the  building  was  dedicated.  It  requires  no  stretch  of  the 
imagination  to  conceive  of  its  being  filled  to  its  utmost  capacity. 
As  you  enter  you  behold  'a  sea  of  faces'  upturned  to  fix  an  excited 
eager  gaze  on  the  sage,  ministerial  veteran  in  the  pulpit,  Dr.  Aaron 
Woolworth.  To  the  left  of  him  on  the  platform  is  the  'deacon's 
seat,'  or  more  properly  the  'elders'.'     There  are  seated  the  five  offi- 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  q^ 

cers,  viz.:  Bering,  Doughlass,  Havens,  Sherrill  and  Nicoll.  The 
preacher  rises  in  the  sacred  desk.  He  is  elevated  eight  feet  above 
the  congregation,  but  he  and  they  think  it  all  right.  It  is  signifi- 
cant of  the  exalted,  heavenly  nature  of  the  minister  and  the  office 
he  fills.  He  announces  the  hymn,  and  directly  a  venerable  form 
rises  behind  the  little  desk  in  front  of  the  pulpit.  It  is  the  chorister. 
His  hymn  book  is  before  him.  He  announces  the  tune,  strikes  his 
tuning  fork  on  the  desk,  lifts  it  to  his  ear,  and  begins  to  sound  a 
note  or  two.  The  'pitch'  thus  obtained,  a  volume  of  melodious 
music  fills  the  house.  The  dedication  prayer  is  offered.  Directly 
the  preacher  reads  from  the  126th  Psalm:  'The  Lord  hath  done 
great  things  for  us  whereof  we  are  glad.'  It  is  the  text.  The 
sermon  is  a  credit  to  the  head  and  heart  of  its  author  and  a  fitting 
tribute  to  the  memorial  occasion.  That  was  a  jubilee  to  this 
people." 

And  with  these  lofty  words  the  honored  preacher  of  the  occasion 
consecrated  the  edifice  "as  an  habitation  of  the  God  of  Jacob," 
namely:  "Be  it  henceforth  dedicated  to  God  as  an  house  of  prayer 
in  which  His  holy  public  worship  in  all  its  instituted  branches  shall 
be  celebrated;  in  which  not  only  supplications  and  the  sacrifices  of 
thanksgiving,  repentance  and  prayer  are  to  be  offered  up  to  the 
God  of  all  grace — but  the  adorable  name  of  the  King  of  Zion  is  to 
be  proclaimed  in  the  preaching  of  the  glorious  gospel  and  the  ad- 
ministration of  the  holy  sacraments  of  the  New  Testament.  May 
the  incomprehensible  Jehovah,  whose  name  is  thus  recorded  in  this 
place,  graciously  condescend  to  take  up  His  abode  here,  and  lib- 
erally bestow  upon  His  people  the  blessings  of  His  grace  and  sal- 
vation, during  not  only  the  present  but  succeeding  generations!" 

While  looking  over  some  old  church  papers  I  came  across  the 
manuscript  of  the  following  hymn,  which  was  composed  especially 
for  the  service  of  dedication  and  sung  at  that  time  by  the  people. 
The  author's  name  I  have  been  unable  to  discover,  though  much 
inquiry  has  been  made.  It  was  certainly  worthy  of  the  writer  and 
the  occasion: 

Be  sacred  this   sequestered   place, 

These  walls  we  consecrate  to   God, 
Who   tho'    He  fills  Heaven,    Earth   and  space, 

Yet  makes   His  churches  His  abode. 
Within  this  House  may  sacred  prayers 

From   contrite  hearts,   like   incense,    rise. 
And  mental  praise,  with  vocal  airs, 

Prelude  the  musick  of  the  Skies. 


gg  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

Here  free  from  passion,  toil  and   strife. 

And  every  care  that  intervenes. 
May  mortals  pass  the  bound  of  life 

To  meditate  on  future  scenes. 

Here  may  the  gospels.  Heaven  taught  page. 

Be  weekly  opened  and  explained, 
While  blooming  youth  and  hoary  age 

Imbibe  its  truths  with  love  unfeigned. 

While  conscience  heaves  repentant  sighs, 

For  sin  against  a  Holy  God. 
May  faith  behold  with  raptured  eyes 

Salvation  in  a  Saviour's  blood. 

Long  may  this  building  be  sustained, 

A  temple  for  the  God  of  love. 
And  children's   children   here   be   trained 

For  glory  in  the  World  above. 

And  now  the  Society  was  fully  equipped  for  work.  Org'anized 
and  officered,  housed  in  a  new  and  noble  edifice,  blessed  with 
quickening  power,  it  began  anew  its  activity  in  the  service  of  Al- 
mighty God. 

The  same  month  in  which  the  church  was  dedicated  the  women 
of  the  Society,  always  ready  and  always  willing,  organized  them- 
selves into  a  missionary  society  known  in  those  days  as  "Female 
Cent  Societies."  These  societies  were  so  calledi  because  each 
member  pledged  herself  to  give  a  penny  a  week  towards  the  objects 
of  the  Society.  The  Society  of  the  Shelter  Island  Presbyterian 
Church  soon  came  into  touch  with  other  like  societies,  and  shortly 
after  its  beginning  received  a  congratulatory  letter  from  the  "Fe- 
male Society  of  the  Bridgehampton  Presbyterian  Church,"  of  which 
the  following  is  an  extract:  "To  the  Female  Cent  Society  on  Shel- 
ter Island:  We  have  lately  received  the  pleasing  intelligence  that  a 
Female  Cent  Society  was  formed  on  Shelter  Island.  Permit  us, 
dear  sisters,  to  congratulate  you  on  this  auspicious  event,  and  to 
assure  you  that  we  most  cordially  wish  you  success  and  prosperity. 
May  your  members  be  increased,  your  exertions  encouraged,  your 
graces  invigorated,  and  every  effort  crowned  with  the  divine  bene- 
diction." This  was  gracefully  responded  to  by  Ann  Willett  Nicoll, 
secretary  of  the  Shelter  Island  Society,  as  follows: 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  gg 

"The  Cent  Society  of  Shelter  Island  receive  and  acknowledge, 
with  sentiments  of  grateful  emotion,  the  united  congratulations  of 
the  Female  Cent  Society  of  Bridgehampton.  Permit  us  still  to 
solicit  the  continuance  of  your  friendship  and  interest  in  our  behalf. 
Actuated  by  motives  which  encourage  our  hopes  and  stimulate  our 
exertions,  we  look  beyond  the  present  to  that  period  which  may  wit- 
ness the  happy  efifects  of  the  united  endeavor  of  our  present  infant 
Society.  Were  our  means  now  equal  to  our  wishes,  how  cheering 
would  be  our  prospects.  Still,  we  rejoice  and  desire  to  be  thank- 
ful in  being  made  the  humble  instruments  of  promoting  the  cause 
of  Christ,  and  advancing  the  glory  of  our  Heavenly  Father,  who 
constantly  surrounds  us  by  the  smiles  of  eternal  love,  and  every 
moment  brings  renewed  expressions  of  His  goodness  and  mercy. 
Notwithstanding  our  privileges  and  distinguished  blessings,  both 
temporal  and  spiritual,  few  have  been  our  charities,  small  indeed 
have  been  our  exertions  in  doing  good.  We  desire  to  feel  hum- 
ble. May  we  all  have  contrition  in  contemplating  these  lamentable 
facts.  We  rejoice  to  hear  of  the  general  establishment  of  Cent 
Societies  in  our  native  land.  We  indulge  the  hope  that  they  will 
still  increase,  that  greater  exertions  will  continue  to  be  made  for 
the  extension  of  the  Redeemer's  Kingdom.  How  animating  the 
reflection  that  the  time  is  not  far  distant  when  the  spirit  of  Christ 
will  reign  in  every  heart  an  i  all  be  united  in  the  same  glorious  cause. 
It  is  a  highly  favored  age  in  which  we  live.  Even  now  the  rays  of 
the  Sun  of  Righteousness  are  illuminating  the  remote  corners  of  the 
earth,  and  subjects  of  the  rich  grace  of  God  rapidly  multiplying. 
How  unceasing  should  be  our  praises,  how  expanded  our  gratitude, 
and  may  our  benevolent  efforts  end  only  with  existence.  The  Cent 
Society  of  Shelter  Island  was  organized  the  ist  of  July,  1817.  It 
consists  of  34  members.     In  behalf  of  this  Society, 

"ANN  WILLETT  NICOLL, 

"Sec'y." 

This  church  and  community  has  always  been  highly  favored 
with  noble-hearted,  whole-souled,  spiritually-fervent  consecrated 
women,  of  some  of  whom  we  shall  have  occasion  to  speak  later  on. 
We  regret  that  the  roll  of  that  first  Society  and  its  list  of  ofBcers 
cannot  be  here  inscribed,  but  with  great  pleasure  give  the  fore- 
going correspondence  a  place  in  our  work. 

For  a  period  of  eight  years  after  the  death  of  Rev.  Daniel  Hall 


lOO  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

this  church  was  without  the  services  of  a  regularly  installed  pastor 
or  resident  preacher.  Mr.  Hall  in  his  relations  to  this  people  was 
looked  upon  as  their  pastor,  though  never  installed  as  such  by- 
proper  authority.  Still  that  was  his  relation  to  them,  and  is  so 
recorded  in  the  first  book  of  records  kept  by  the  session,  in  which 
he  is  twice  spoken  of  as  pastor,  one  of  these  being  the  notice 
of  his  death,  which  is  entered  according  to  the  following  form: 
"Rev'd  Daniel  Hall,  our  pastor,  aged  64,  Jan'y  20,  1812.'"  To 
him  therefore  may  be  rightly  attributed  the  honor  of  being  the 
first  pastor  of  the  Society  now  known  as  the  Presbyterian  Church 
of  Shelter  Island,  the  organization  of  which  he  effected  and  which 
stands  as  an  enduring  monument  to  his  faithful  and  consecrated 
labors.  During  the  eight  years  after  his  death  the  church  was  sup- 
plied with  occasional  preachers,  some  of  whom  served  for  several 
months  at  a  time,  as  in  the  case  of  Rev.  Mr.  Tracey.  Among  these 
were  the  pastors  of  the  neighboring  churches.  Rev.  Dr.  Woolworth 
of  Bridgehampton,  Rev.  Ebenezer  Phillips  of  Easthampton,  Rev.  J. 
M.  Babbit  of  Southampton,  Rev.  J.  D.  Gardiner  of  Sag  Harbor, 
Rev.  Lathrop  Thompson  of  Cutchogue. 

One  of  these,  who  I  cannot  tell,  perhaps  the  Rev.  Mr.  Tracy, 
was  small  in  stature  though  tall  in  intellect,  for  in  a  letter  written  by 
a  Shelter  Island  lady  who  had  moved  to  Connecticut,  from  whence 
she  wrote  to  friends  on  this  island,  occurs  this  sentence:  "Do  you 
keep  that  good  little  minister  there  yet?  I  have  not  heard  a  better 
sermon  amongst  all  our  ministers  and  preaching  than  he  delivers." 
And  she  had  heard  many  in  the  Nutmeg  State,  having  attended 
several  of  what  was  knov/n  as  "Association  Days,"  when  the  min- 
isters for  a  certain  region  would  gather  and  hold  several  days  of 
continued  preaching.  During  a  large  portion  of  those  eight  years 
the  conditions  of  things  on  this  island  were  greatly  disturbed  by 
the  war  of  181 2-1 5,  as  we  have  seen,  and  doubtless  was  the  cause 
of  the  delay  in  getting  a  resident  preacher  as  successor  to  Mr.  Hall. 
Religious  matters,  however,  were  faithfully  maintained  by  the  elders 
of  the  church,  who  had  promised  upon  their  ordination  to  maintain 
public  worship  on  the  Sabbath  when  there  should  be  no  preaching. 
And  here  a  fitting  opportunity  presents  itself  of  paying  tribute 
justly  due  to  the  memory  of  General  Sylvester  Dering,  the  first 
elder  chosen  and  ordained  over  this  church.  A  man  whose  life 
was  such  a  blessing  to  this  place  and  people  that  he  is  rightly 
esteemed,  if  not  the  best  and  noblest  of  all  men  who  have  lived  on 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian   Church  loi 

Shelter  Island,  at  least  second  to  none  in  these  qualities  of  mind 
and  heart. 

General  Sylvester  Dcring  was  the  second  son  of  Thomas  Dering 
and  Mary  Sylvester,  and  was  born  in  Newport,  R.  I.,  Nov.  27th, 
1758.  He  moved  to  this  island  with  his  parents  when  but  two  years 
old.  And  here  he  continued  to  live  save  during  the  period  of  the 
Revolution,  until  tlie  day  of  his  death,  Oct.  8th,  1820,  in  conse- 
quence of  a  fall  from  his  horse  fourteen  days  previous.  The  Hon. 
Ebenezer  Sage,  of  Sag  Harbor,  who  was  personally  and  intimately 
acquainted  with  Mr.  Bering,  wrote  the  following  beautiful  obituary 
upon  his  decease:  "Died  on  the  8th  inst.  at  his  residence  on  Slielter 
Island,  after  an  illness  of  fourteen  days,  in  consequence  of  a  fall 
from  his  horse,  Gen'l  Sylvester  Dering,  in  the  62d  year  of  his  age. 

"Few  instances  of  mortality  have  stronger  claims  upon  the  sym- 
pathies of  surviving  relations,  friends,  society  and  country  than  that 
of  this  worthy  man.  He  lived  not  for  himself,  his  heart  was  formed 
for  the  exercise  of  all  charities  of  this  life.  In  all  the  relations  he  bore 
to  society,  he  cheerfully  and  conscientiously  discharged  the  duties  of 
a  husband,  parent,  brother,  friend,  neighbor  and  citizen.  His  chil- 
dren and  grandchildren  will  never  forget  the  paternal  care  and  ten- 
derness with  which  he  watched  over  them  from  their  childhood,  and 
their  surviving  parent  will  mourn  the  remainder  of  her  life  the  loss 
of  a  kind  husband  and  her  best  friend.  His  extensive  circle  of 
relations  and  friends  will,  whenever  they  reflect  upon  the  constancy 
of  his  love  and  attachment,  not  refuse  to  his  memory  the  tribute  of 
a  tear.  The  inhabitants  of  the  island  on  which  he  lived  will  never 
be  guilty  of  the  great  ingratitude  of  forgetting  the  innumerable  acts 
of  kindness  that  they  have  for  more  than  thirty  years  received  from 
him  as  a  neighbor,  friend  and  counsellor;  more  especially  the  poor 
and  fatherless,  and  those  laboring  under  afflictions  of  either  body  or 
mind.  Were  they  on  beds  of  sickness,  he  administered  to  them  as 
a  physician;  spread  their  pillows  and  watched  over  them  as  a  nurse; 
consoling  them  as  a  friend;  opening  his  purse  to  their  wants  and 
kneeling  at  their  bedside  and  devoutly  asking  from  the  Great  Physi- 
cian relief  for  their  sufferings  and  consolation  beyond  the  power  of 
human  aid.  Under  his  hospitable  roof  the  friend  and  the  stranger 
were  equally  welcome,  and  the  poor  never  departed  empty.  It 
may  be  said  that  Providence  for  wise  purposes  has  removed  from 
among  us  a  truly  good  man.  The  writer  of  this  has  known  him 
nearly  forty  years,  in  all  which  time  he  has  lived  his  neighbor  and  in

habits  of  friendly  intercourse,  uninterrupted  either  by  word  or  act, 
and  does  not  believe  he  has  said  enough — not  too  much — ^nay,  not 
enough  until  he  has  named  the  brightest  gem  in  the  character  of 
his  deceased  friend.  He  was  a  Christian,  and  a  Christian  whose 
belief  and  professions  were  made  abundantly  manifest  by  his  works. 
His  heart  at  all  times  disposed  to  do  good,  was  warmed  and  directed 
to  the  object  by  the  divine  precepts  of  the  gospel  of  his  Redeemer 
and  holy  influences  of  His  Spirit.  The  church  to  which  he  be- 
longed, and  of  which  he  was  an  elder  and  a  deacon,  will  long  mourn 
the  loss  of  one  of  its  brightest  ornaments,  and  all  who  knew  him 
will  forget  whatever  imperfections  they  may  have  seen  in  his  char- 
acter and  remember  naught  of  all  his  life  but  the  many  amiable 
Christian  and  moral  virtues.  For  to  few  can  that  divine  benediction 
with  more  propriety  be  applied:  'Blessed  are  the  dead  that  die  in 
the  Lord  from  henceforth;  yea,  saith  the  Spirit,  that  they  may  rest 
from  their  labors,  and  their  works  do  follow  them.'  "  Thompson  in 
his  history  says:  "With  those  who  knew  him  best,  we  hazard  noth- 
ing in  saying  that  few  better  men  ever  lived.  Benevolence  and  sym- 
pathy for  the  poor  and  afflicted  were  the  tributes  of  his  character, 
and  as  a  public  man  he  executed  every  trust  confided  to  him  with 
fidlelity  and  honor.  He  was  Supervisor  of  the  Town  many  years, 
a  Representative  to  the  Assembly  in  1804,  and  for  some  time  a 
Major  General  of  the  militia."  While  Brigadier  General  he  issued

I04  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

Rev.  Mr.  Harries,  speaking  of  Elder  Bering,  says  among  other 
things:  "We  owe  him  to-day  for  the  existence  of  this  sanctuary. 
But  for  his  contributions  and  zealous  efforts  to  collect  funds,  it 
could  not  have  been  erected.  He  ardently  loved  and  unceasingly 
labored  for  the  prosperity  of  Zion.  His  influence  in  the  church  and 
out  of  it  was  unbounded."    And  Rev.  Mr.  Lord  also  adds  this  tribute: 

"General  Bering  was  the  son  of  a  devotedly  pious  mother,  one 
of  the  three  godly  women  for  whom  it  is  said  that  Shelter  Island 
was  anciently  distinguished.  For  many  years  previous  to  the  or- 
ganization of  this  church  he  seems  to  have  been  the  only  religious 
man  who  took  an  active  part  in  the  religious  meetings.  Indeed, 
without  his  presence  and  aid  there  were  no  religious  meetings  ex- 
cept some  clergyman  was  present."  And  here  we  have  occasion 
again  to  call  your  atttention  to  a  very  pleasing  coincidence,  namely, 
to  the  greatness  that  characterized  the  men  who  were  the  original 
occupants  of  the  positions  of  trust  to  which  they  were  severally 
chosen.  Our  first  Supervisor,  the  Hon.  William  Nicoll,  famed  in 
the  annals  of  Colonial  New  York;  our  first  Trustee,  the  Hon.  Jona- 
than N.  Havens,  equally  famed  in  the  annals  of  the  Empire  State 
and  Nation;  and  now  our  first  Elder.  General  Sylvester  Bering,  the 
noble-hearted,  saintly  patriot  and  Christian.  All  honor  to  these 
men  who  reflect  so  much  glory  upon  community  and  church.  How 
highly  has  God  favored  these  in  the  bestowal  of  such  great  and 
noble  citizens. 

We  can  well  imagine  the  grief  of  this  community  upon  the  death 
of  such  a  man,  the  more  so  in  view  of  the  fact  that  just  two  months 
previous  to  a  day  another  influential  life  had  closed  its  career  in 
their  midst  in  the  death  of  Squire  William  Bowditch.  These  two 
men  were  two  of  the  original  Trustees  selected  in  1785,  and  had  con- 
tinued in  ofBce  together  almost  uninterruptedly  for  all  these  years. 
Now  both  had  been  removed  by  death,  and  sad  indeed  were  the 
hearts  of  this  people  over  the  loss  of  two  such  helpful  men.  But 
their  cup  of  bitterness  was  not  yet  full.  Another  potion  was  to  be 
added  six  months  later  when  the  Rev.  Aaron  Woolworth,  B.  B., 
passed  to  his  eternal  reward.  For  this  eminent  servant  of  God  had 
fostered  this  church  ever  since  the  death  of  the  Rev.  Baniel  Hall. 
He  had  been  their  councillor  and  friend,  he  had  ordained  their  elders, 
administered  to  them  the  blessed  sacraments,  rejoiced  in  their 
spiritual  awakening,  dedicated  their  house  of  God,  and  thus  in  many 
ways  endeared  himself  imto  them.     He  died  after  a  brief  illness  in

the  full  possession  and  exercise  of  all  his  powers,  April  4th,  1821. 
Perhaps  it  was  to  this  celebrated  divine  that  the  lady  referred 
in  her  letter  from  Connecticut,  for  Dr.  Prime  in  his  histor}^  of  Long 
Island  speaks  of  Dr.  Woolworth  as  follows:  "Though  of  small 
stature,  and  by  no  means  of  prepossessing  aspect,  he  was  one  of  the 
most  able,  discriminating  and  pious  divines  that  Long  Island  was 
ever  blessed  with."  One  of  the  early  elders  of  this  church,  all  of 
whom  were  ordained  by  Dr.  Woolworth — three  at  the  organization 
of  the  Society  as  a  Presbyterian  Church  and  two  subsequently — one 
of  these  five  elders,  Richard  Floyd  Nicoll,  soon  after  his  ordination 
as  an  elder  in  1816,  began  the  study  of  theology  with  Dr.  Wool- 
worth,  and  was  subsequently  ordained  a  gospel  minister  by  the 
Presbytery  of  Long  Island,  and  in  time  became  the  preacher  to  this 
church  for  a  short  period.  We  shall  have  more  to  say  of  the  Ruling 
Elders  of  this  church  later  on.  We  now  turn  again  to  the  condition 
of  things  prior  to  the  death  of  Elder  Sylvester  Dering,  or  to  the 
beginning  of  the  year  1820.  In  the  month  of  April  of  that  year  the 
Rev.  William  Evans  was  invited  to  fill  the  pulpit  for  four  months, 
according  to  the  following  minute:  "Parish  Meeting,  April  20,  1820. 
Voted  unanimously  to  employ  Mr.  William  Evans  to  preach  the 
gospel  to  us,  and  that  we  will  pay  him  four  Dollars  for  every  Sab- 
bath he  preaches  for  us  or  supplies  the  pulpit,  he  boarding  himself. 
Voted  that  the  trustees  agree  with  Mr.  Evans  for  four  months — 
on  the  above  terms  and  with  this  provision,  that  Mr.  Evans  be  at 
liberty  to  take  a  voyage  for  his  health  when  he  shall  choose,  and  if  it 
is  previous  to  the  termination  of  four  months,  that  he  make  up  the 
time  after  his  return."  As  no  record  of  payment  to  the  Rev.  William 
Evans  appears  among  the  treasurer's  accounts,  it  is  thought  that 
this  effort  proved  futile,  perhaps  because  of  the  ill  health  of  Mr. 
Evans.  Again  the  Society  sought  a  preacher,  this  time  in  the  person 
of  one  of  their  former  elders,  the  Rev.  Richard  F.  Nicoll,  who  in  De- 
cember of  the  same  year,  1820,  was  unanimously  invited  to  supply 
the  pulpit  for  four  months  for  five  dollars  per  Sabbath.  He  re- 
sponded to  the  invitation  and  supplied  the  pulpit  during  a  brief 
period  in  the  early  part  of  the  next  year,  1821.  The  same  year  the 
Rev.  Ezra  Youngs,  then  a  hcentiate,  was  providentially  led  to  this 
place  and  began  about  the  middle  of  the  year  to  preach  to  this 
people.  He  continued  in  this  relation  with  slight  intermissions  from 
July,  1821,  to  the  middle  of  the  year  1828.  This  is  established  by 
the  records  of  the  parish  meetings  and  the  more  tangible  and  con- 


lo6  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

vincing  proof  of  the  payments  made  to  Mr.  Youngs  according  to  the 
treasurer's  accounts.  I  mention  these  facts  because  this  is  an  en- 
tirely different  presentation  of  things  concerning  those  early  days 
from  what  has  been  said  about  them  by  other  writers  heretofore. 
During  the  seven  years  of  Mr.  Youngs'  ministry  in  this  place  there 
were  occasional  supplies  in  the  persons  of  Rev.  Mr.  Wickam  for  one 
Sabbath  in  1821,  Rev.  Abraham  Luce  for  one  Sabbath  in  1823, 
Rev.  Mr.  Moody  for  seven  Sabbaths  in  1825,  Rev.  David  Wilson  for 
nine  Sabbaths  in  1825,  Rev.  Mr.  Moody  again  for  one  Sabbath  in 

1826,  and  the  Rev.  Daniel  M.  Lord  in  the  fall  of  1827,  then  a  sopho- 
more in  college,  employed  here  temporarily  as  teacher  in  the  public 
school.  A  person  still  living  with  us  remembers  the  subject  of  one 
of  Mr.  Moody's  sermons,  now  preached  over  seventy-three  years  ago. 
It  was  this:  "Building  on  sand."  While  laboring  here  the  Rev.  Mr. 
Youngs  was  received  into  the  Presbytery  of  Long  Island  as  licen- 
tiate on  the  27th  of  August,  1823,  and  precisely  five  years  later, 
after  having  assumed  the  duties  of  preacher  to  the  Cutchogue  Pres- 
byterian Church,  whither  he  went  from  here  in  the  early  part  of  1828, 
was  ordained  to  the  gospel  ministry,  and  there  continued  for  nine- 
teen years  his  relations  to  the  Cutchogue  church,  after  which  he 
retired,  but  continued  to  live  in  the  place  until  his  death,  August 
25th,  1876,  his  funeral  taking  place  on  the  28th  of  that  month,  so 
that  'his  admittance  into  Presbytery  as  a  licentiate,  his  ordination 
to  the  gospel  ministry  and  his  burial  all  happened  on  the  same  day 
of  the  year.  While  serving  as  stated  supply  to  this  church  he  met 
her  who  was  destined  to  become  his  wife.  Miss  Maria  Nicoll, 
daughter  of  Samuel  B.  Nicoll,  to  whom  he  was  married  Oct.  4th, 

1827,  in  the  church,  the  first  ceremony  of  that  kind  said  to  have 
been  held  in  this  sanctuary.  His  courtship  was  prosecuted  some- 
what under  difficulties,  not  being  acceptable  to  the  parents  of  the 
young  lady.  One  method  resorted  to  in  order  to  carry  on  their 
correspondence  was  for  the  bride-elect  to  get  early  to  church  and 
there  slip  into  the  Bible  those  epistles  so  dear  to  hearts  engaged. 
These,  upon  opening  the  precious  Book,  would  come  into  the  hands 
of  her  intended.  Mr.  Youngs  was  a  lineal  descendant  of  Rev.  John 
Youngs,  first  minister  to  the  church  at  Southold.  He  was  an  able 
preacher,  a  graduate  of  Princeton  University  in  181 5,  having  as  his 
colleagues  the  Rev.  Dr.  Chas.  Hodge,  the  renowned  theologian; 
Gov.  William  Pennington,  of  New  Jersey,  and  other  distinguished 
men  in  Church  and  State.     After  his  graduation  he  entered  Andover 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  107 

Theological  Seminary,  where  he  pursued  a  full  course  in  Theologfy, 
and  graduated  in  1820  in  a  class  of  subsequent  distinguished  preach- 
ers and  missionaries.  He  was  licensed  to  preach  by  the  Congrega- 
tional Association  of  Andover.  His  subsequent  advancement  and 
ecclesiastical  connections  have  already  been  dwelt  upon.  That 
he  had  some  wit  about  him  is  shown  by  the  following  incident.  In 
his  day  upon  this  island  there  was  no  bridge  spanning  Chase's  Creek 
as  there  is  to-day.  Consequently  those  who  wished  to  cross  it  would 
either  ford  it  or  row  over  it.  Upon  a  certain  occasion  Mr.  Youngs 
and  Squire  Chase  had  to  cross  the  creek  on  the  way  to  the  latter's 
house.  As  they  drew  near  to  the  water  the  squire  proposed  to  the 
preacher  that  there  was  no  need  of  him  taking  off  his  boots  and 
wading  through  the  water,  remarking:  "You  just  get  on  my  back 
and  I  will  carry  you  across."  This  being  agreed  to  priest  Youngs — 
the  title  by  which  the  preachers  were  known  in  that  day — priest 
Youngs  mounted  Squire  Chase's  back  and  thus  they  both  crossed 
the  stream.  As  Mr.  Youngs  dismounted  from  his  friend's  back  he 
said:  "Well,  Squire,  henceforth  you  can  never  say  that  you  haven't 
been  priest  ridden."  At  another  time,  after  marrying  a  loving 
couple,  and  being  asked  by  the  happy  bridegroom  what  it  cost,  Mr. 
Youngs  replied:  'Tt  is  according  to  the  kindness  of  the  party." 
"Well,"  said  the  generous  benedict,  "which  will  you  have,  twenty- 
five  cents  or  a  load  of  sea  weed?"  "Give  me,"  said  Mr.  Youngs,  "the 
sea  weed." 

It  was  during  the  ministry  of  Rev.  Mr.  Youngs  that  this  church 
inherited  through  the  death  of  Mr.  Benjamin  Conkling,  in  1826,  a 
legacy  of  $8,000.  Mr.  Conkling  was  the  youngest  son  of  Thomas 
Conkling,  one  of  our  Town  Fathers;  a  sea  captain  by  occupation,  in 
which  profession  he  had  amassed  quite  a  fortune.  After  spending 
the  major  portion  of  his  life  plowing  the  seas  he  returned  to  his 
native  place  to  spend  the  evening  of  his  days  among  this 
people,  during  which  he  was  a  liberal  supporter  of  this  church, 
contributing  fifty  dollars  annually  towards  its  expenses,  and  upon 
his  death,  leaving  no  family,  having  never  married,  he  bequeathed  to 
this  church  the  above-mentioned  legacy,  which,  added  to  the  legacy 
of  Brinley  Sylvester,  that  had  grown  to  be  about  $1,000  at  this  date, 
made  a  total  of  $9,000.  In  1834  the  following  inventory  of  property 
belonging  to  the  Society  was  made,  showing  that  it  owned  personal 
and  real  estate  to  the  amount  of  $9,500,  exclusive  of  the  church  lot 
and  building.

For  one  hundred  and  fifty  years  this  community  and  church 
have  enjoyed  the  help  of  funds  in  maintaining  the  cause  of  rehgion 
among  them.  Mr.  Benjamin  Conkhng  Hved  to  be  eighty-two  years 
old.  He  died  Feb.  21,  1826,  and  was  buried  in  the  cemetery  in 
the  rear  of  the  church,  where  there  stands  a  headstone  with  this 
inscription  upon  it: 


"In  Memory  of 
Benjamin  Conkling,  who  died  Feb.  21,  1826,  aged  eighty-two. 
It  is  but  justice  to  the  character  of  Mr.  Conkling  to  say  that  he 
was  an  obliging  neighbor;  in  his  habits  industrious,  in  his  dealings 
honest.  He  liberally  aided  the  cause  of  virtue  and  religion,  and  in 
his  last  moments  bequeathed  a  large  proportion  of  his  property  to 
the  Presbyterian  church  and  congregation  of  Shelter  Island,  for  the 
support  of  the  gospel."

Close  beside  this  stone  and  the  grave  of  Mr.  Benjamin  ConkHng 
is  the  grave  of  his  brother,  Shadrach  Conkling,  who  died  in  January, 
1827.  It  too  has  a  headstone  with  a  lengthy  inscription  upon  it  in 
singular  contrast  to  that  of  Mr.  Benjamin  Conkling.  It  reads  as 
follows : 

"In  Memory  of 
Shadrach  Conkling,  who  died  Jan.  23,  1827,  aged  eighty-eight. 
Mr.  Conkling  possessed  a  sound  mind  and  excellent  understanding, 
and  was  a  firm  patriot,  a  good  neighbor,  charitable  and  strictly  moral. 
He  owned,  at  the  time  of  his  decease,  a  large  estate,  which  he  be- 
queathed to  his  relations,  who  were  all  very  poor,  and  among  whom 
were  seven  orphan  children.  Posterity  will  decide  upon  the  wisdom 
manifested  in  the  disposition  of  the  estates  of  these  two  brothers." 

I  do  not  intend  to  go  into  the  merits  of  this  proposition.  One 
can,  however,  read  very  plainly  between  the  lines  of  these  epitaphs. 
Perhaps  this  significant  fact  will  aid  "posterity"  in  forming  a  correct 
opinion,  namely,  that  while  both  men  were  wealthy  bachelors,  the 
latter  contributed  but  twenty  dollars  to  the  erection  of  the  present 
building,  while  the  former  gave  two  hundred  dollars  and  yearly  hired 
a  pew,  giving  besides  fifty  dollars  per  annum  to  the  support  of  the 
church.  But  we  look  in  vain  for  Mr.  Shadrach  Conkling's  name 
upon  the  pew  lists  of  those  ten  years  which  are  still  in  existence.

CHAPTER  VI. 

At  the  close  of  the  Rev.  Ezra  Youngs'  ministry,  in  1828,  during 
the  last  six  months  of  which  he  preached  here  but  a  third  of  the  time 
and  two-thirds  at  Cutchogue,  he  was  succeeded  by  the  Rev.  Jonathan 
Huntting.  In  September  of  that  year  the  parish  authorized  the 
trustees  "to  make  use  of  five  hundred  dollars  of  the  Publick  property 
to  hire  a  Minister  to  Preach  the  Gospel  unto  us."  Mr.  Huntting  had 
just  ceased  to  be  the  pastor  of  the  Southold  church,  his  pastoral 
relation  being  dissolved  on  the  27th  of  August,  1828.  To  that 
church  he  had  ministered  more  than  twenty-two  years,  and  now,  at 
the  age  of  fifty,  in  the  very  prime  of  his  powers,  God  gave  him  to 
this  flock  as  their  shepherd  and  leader.  He  here  continued  to  labor 
until  the  fall  of  1832,  a  period  of  four  years,  during  which  his  labors 
were  blessed  to  a  marked  degree.  He  did  not  change  his  place  of 
residence,  however.  That  still  remained  at  Southold,  from  whence 
he  came  weekly  to  minister  unto  this  people.  On  June  19th,  1832, 
the  parish  sought  to  induce  him  to  take  up  his  abode  on  this  island 
by  passing  the  following  resolution:  "Voted  that  the  Trustees  be 
authorized  to  allow  the  Rev.  Jonathan  Huntting  the  sum  of  four 
hundred  dollars  a  year  for  preaching  for  us  provided  he  will  come 
on  the  island  and  live."  To  this  proposition  he  declined,  but  still 
continued  to  supply  the  pulpit,  in  response  to  the  action  of  the 
parish,  to  the  following  ist  of  July,  when  the  trustees  were  instructed 
to  "hire  the  Rev.  Jonathan  Huntting  until  they  could  procure  an- 
other clergyman,"  presumably  to  come  and  live  upon  the  island;  and 
to  this  end  they  were  at  the  same  time  directed  "to  write  to  procure 
a  clergyman  to  preach  for  us  on  trial."  Mr.  Huntting  was  a  man 
of  marked  ability  and  power;  in  life  pure  and  transparent,  in 
labors  devoted  and  successful.  His  long  pastorate  at  Southold  is 
in  itself  a  high  testimonial  to  his  excellency  of  character  and  ac- 
ceptableness  as  a  preacher,  a  workman  that  needed  not  to  be 
ashamed,  rightly  dividing  the  word  of  truth.  There  are  those  living 
among  us  to-day  who  remember  him  with  great  esteem  and  warm 
affection.  One  good  brother  in  the  parish  of  Franklinville,  whither 
Mr.  Huntting  went  after  ceasing  to  serve  this  people,  in  speaking 
of  him  to  me  said :  "Mr.  Huntting  was  a  wonderful  man,  a  powerful 
preacher.     I  can  hear  him  pray  now  (nearly  sixty  years  since  the 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  m 

time).  He  put  his  whole  soul  into  it."  The  year  after  he  was  or- 
dained at  Southold,  namely,  the  year  1808,  he  married  Miss  Julia 
Sayre,  of  Easthampton,  his  own  native  place.  How  he  met  this  most 
estimable  woman  and  proposed  to  her  has  been  told  to  me  by  the 
same  brother,  and  will  doubtless  be  as  interesting  to  others  as  it  was 
to  me,  for  which  reason  it  will  be  here  repeated.  The  story  is  as 
follows:  "While  on  his  way  to  Presbytery,  which  met  in  that  year 
at  Easthampton,  Mr.  Huntting  passed  through  Franklinville  on 
horseback.  It  was  the  usual  mode  of  travel  in  those  days,  and  the 
route  from  Southold  to  Easthampton  was  by  way  of  Mattituck,  River- 
head,  Canoe  Place,  Southampton  and  so  on  to  the  place  of  desti- 
nation. Reaching  Franklinville,  Mr.  Huntting  dismounted  to  pay 
his  respects  to  Mr.  Seldon  Herrick,  who  at  the  time  was  a  widower. 
Here  Mr.  Huntting  met  Miss  Sayre,  who  happened  to  be  at  Mr. 
Herrick's  on  a  visit.  As  Mr.  Huntting  was  about  to  resume  his 
journey,  Miss  Sayre  and  Mr.  Herrick  joined  him,  the  lady  intending 
at  the  time  to  return  to  her  home.  And  so  they  started  off  together, 
Mr.  Herrick  and  Miss  Sayre  in  a  carriage,  and  the  dominy  on  his 
horse.  After  they  had  gone  some  distance  and  were  crossing  the 
sandy  plains  south  southeast  of  Riverhead  Mr.  Herrick  proposed  a 
change  to  Mr.  Huntting,  he  to  ride  the  preacher's  horse  and  Mr. 
Huntting  to  take  his  place  in  the  carriage.  Tliis  was  readily  agreed 
to,  so  Mr.  Herrick  mounted  the  steed  and  Mr.  Huntting  placed  him- 
self alongside  the  fair  and  attractive  damsel.  Such  close  contact 
had  its  effect,  for  before  long  their  friendship  ripened  so  fast  that  the 
dominy  proposed  to  Miss  Sayre  right  then  and  there,  and  was  ac- 
cepted. By  this  time  Mr.  Herrick,  having  become  tired  of  riding 
on  the  dominy's  horse,  suggested  to  Mr.  Huntting  that  they  resume 
their  original  positions,  which  was  agreed  to  and  effected.  Now  it 
happened  that  Mr.  Herrick,  being  a  widower,  was  also  in  search  of 
another  helpmeet,  and  thinking  the  present  a  good  chance  to  get 
one,  broached  the  subject  to  Miss  Sayre  and  proposed  to  her.  To 
his  great  astonishment  and  discouragement  Miss  Sayre  responded 
that  while  the  dominy  was  in  the  carriage  he  had  made  a  similar 
proposal  and  had  been  accepted.  They  were  married  Sept.  20, 
1808." 

Mr.  Huntting  was  born  Feb.  13,  1778,  graduated  from  Yale 
College  in  1804,  returned  to  his  native  place  and  became  an  in- 
structor in  the  academy  in  Easthampton,  at  the  same  time  prose- 
cuting the  study  of  theology  under  the  instruction  of  Rev.   Dr.

Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 


Lyman  Beecher,  his  pastor,  and  the  Rev.  Mr.  Bogart,  of  Southamp- 
ton. On  the  loth  of  October,  1805,  he  was  Hcensed  to  preach  by 
the  Presbytery  of  Long  Island.  As  a  licentiate  he  supplied  the 
pulpit  in  Fishkill  for  five  months  in  1806.  In  June  he  began  his 
laJbors  at  Southold,  where  he  was  ordained  and  installed  as  pastor 
the  20th  of  August,  1807.  His  subsequent  labors  have  already  been 
stated,  except  that  he  frequently  supplied  this  pulpit  after  the  close 
of  his  continued  services  in  1832.  As  for  instance  in  1834,  wdien  he 
preached  for  a  month.  Again  in  1837  for  a  like  period.  Again  in 
1842,  when  he  supplied  for  two  months,  and  in  1843,  when  he  or- 
dained two  of  the  members  as  elders  in  this  church.  During 
them  all  his  home  continued  at  Southold,  where  he  died  De- 
cember 30th,  1850.  Thirty  persons  united  with  this  church  dur- 
ing his  ministry,  most  of  them  being  the  gracious  fruits  of  a 
mighty  revival  that  occurred  during  the  last  part  of  1831  and  the 
early  part  of  1832.  During  that  revival  they  held  seasons  of  services 
called  "four  days'  meetings,"  when  various  members  of  the  Presby- 
tery would  be  present  to  assist  the  preacher  in  his  revival  efforts. 
In  all  one  hundred  and  thirty-two  persons  had  by  this  date  united 
with  the  church  since  its  organization  in  1808.  The  next  person 
to  unite  with  this  Society  was  Mr.  John  Bowers,  who  joined  by  letter 
Oct.  loth,  1833.  He  afterwards  felt  himself  called  to  the  gospel  min- 
istry, and  in  time  became  a  Congregational  pastor,  being  ordained  at 
Wilbraham,  Mass.,  on  May  11,  1856.  He  supplied  the  pulpit  at  Aga- 
wam  Falls  for  one  year.  After  this  he  was  called  to  St.  Johnsbury, 
Vt.,  where  he  was  installed  as  pastor  over  the  Third  Congregational 
Church  Feb.  4th,  1858,  and  continued  to  reside  there  until  his  death, 
just  five  years  later,  on  Feb.  4th,  1863. 

Mr.  Huntting  was  succeeded  by  the  Rev.  Daniel  M.  Lord, 
already  known  to  this  people,  having  taught  school  here  during  the 
winter  of  1827-8,  and  at  the  same  time  supplying  their  pulpit  and 
taking  charge  of  the  weekly  prayer  meeting.  "That  winter,"  says 
Mr.  Lord  in  his  historical  discourse,  "was  memorable  for  two  events, 
(i)  for  the  burning  of  the  school-house,  with  the  loss  of  all  the  school- 
books,  and  (2)  for  a  revival  of  religion,  during  which  some  fifteen 
or  eighteen  indulged  the  hope  in  the  mercy  of  God.  It  was  a  work 
characterized  by  deep  solemnity  and  pungent  convictions  for  sin." 
At  this  time,  as  we  have  seen,  Mr.  Lord  was  a  sophomore  in  Am- 
herst College,  with  his  eye  set  on  the  ministry.  Upon  completing 
his    college    course    he    entered    Princeton    Theological    Seminary, 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  i  i  3 

where  he  pursued  the  study  of  theology  for  over  two  years.  At  a 
special  meeting  of  the  church,  held  Nov.  28th,  1832,  the  trustees 
were  directed  "to  hire  Mr.  Daniel  Lord  to  preach  for  us  until  the 
third  Tuesday  in  June  next,  and  that  they  allow  Mr.  Lord  at  the  rate 
of  four  hundred  Dollars  a  Year." 

In  his  historical  discourse  Mr.  Lord  says:  "In  the  fall  of  1833, 
having  been  licensed  to  preach  by  the  second  Presbytery  of  Long 
Island,  I  visited  this  island  and  preached  my  first  sermon  in  the 
schoolhouse,  the  church  being  closed  while  undergoing  repairs.  Mr. 
Huntting  having  declined  to  remove  to  this  place,  the  good  people, 
under  the  influence  of  that  sermon,  passing  over  all  my  early  im- 
perfections, and  unmindful  of  the  proverb  that  a  prophet  is  not 
without  honor  save  in  his  own  country,  gave  me  a  unanimous  invita- 
tion to  preach  to  them  for  six  months."  During  the  winter  and 
spring  of  that  ministry  the  word  was  accompanied  by  the  mighty 
power  of  God.  The  Lord  revived  his  work.  The  church  was  quick- 
ened and  sinners  were  saved.  Of  the  fruits  oi  this  precious  refresh- 
ing from  the  presence  of  the  Lord  twelve  were  gathered  into  the 
church  at  one  communion  season,  among  them  being  the  last  of 
the  aborigines,  upon  whose  remarkable  conversion  we  have  dwelt 
in  a  previous  chapter.  At  the  close  of  the  six  months  he  was  cor- 
dially invited  to  preach  to  the  people  for  a  period  of  three  years,  a 
longer  period  than  had  yet  been  named  in  engaging  the  services  of 
previous  clergymen. 

I  am  inclined  to  believe  that  the  date  of  Mr.  Lord's  return  to  this 
people  should  be  1832  instead  of  1833,  and  that  for  the  following 
reasons.  Mr.  Huntting  retired  from  the  relation  of  stated  supply  to 
this  people  in  the  fall  of  1832.  In  November  of  that  year  Mr.  Lord 
was  invited  to  preach  "until  the  third  Tuesday  in  June  next."  The 
following  October,  or  to  be  precise,  on  Oct.  14th,  1833,  at  a  special 
meeting  of  the  parish  the  trustees  were  "authorized  to  hire  Mr. 
Daniel  Lord  to  preach  for  us  three  years,  and  to  allow  Mr.  Lord 
the  income  of  our  stock."  The  same  day  the  trustees  held  a  meeting 
and  "directed  their  Treasurer  to  settle  with  Mr.  Lord  and  pay  him 
what  is  due.  Also  to  hire  Mr.  Lord  for  three  years  according  to 
the  Vote  of  the  Society."  What,  however,  confirms  1832  as  the  true 
date  is  this  reference  in  Mr.  Lord's  own  discourse,  namely:  "It  was 
during  my  brief  ministry  that  the  session  passed  the  following  vote: 
'Aug.  24,  1833,  That  it  be  required  of  members  of  this  church  to 
abstain  from  making  use  of  ardent  spirits  as  a  beverage  and  to  make 
the  violation  of  this  rule  a  matter  of  discipline.'  "

Mr.  Lord  did  not  serve  the  three  years  period  as  invited  to  do  by 
the  parish  in  its  meeting-  of  Oct.  14,  1833,  but  continued  only  till 
the  following  May,  1834.  In  April  of  that  year,  after  a  searching 
examination  in  theology,  experimental  religion,  philosophy,  the 
sacred  languages,  polity  of  the  church,  etc.,  by  Presbytery,  then  in 
session  at  Southampton,  which  he  passed  to  the  great  credit  of  him- 
self and  the  commendation  of  this  court  of  our  church,  he  was  or- 
dained April  16,  1834,  to  the  exercise  of  all  the  rights  of  the  gospel 
ministry  as  an  evangelist.  As  Mr.  Lord  returned  again  to  this 
charge  after  an  absence  of  about  fourteen  years,  we  shall  have  occa- 
sion to  speak  of  him  again.  Previous  to  his  going  away  in  1834  his 
successor,  the  Rev.  Randolph  Campbell,  at  the  time  a  member  of 
the  Theological  Seminary  at  Princeton,  was  introduced  to  the  people 
of  this  church  and  congregation.  The  introduction  was  mutually 
agreeable,  and  resulted  in  the  following  action  by  the  church  in  its 
annual  meeting  held  June  17,  1834,  "Voted  that  the  Trustees  be  au- 
thorized to  hire  Mr.  Randolph  Campbell  two  Years  and  alow  him 
the  use  of  the  parsonage  and  four  hundred  dollars  in  money  a  Year 
to  preach  for  us."  "According  to  a  Vote  of  Parish  the  Trustees  hired 
Mr.  Randolph  Campbell  to  preach  for  us  two  Years  beginning  Last 
Sabbath  in  September,  1834."  Mr.  Campbell  responded  and  con- 
tinued to  labor  here  until  September,  1837,  a  period  of  three  years. 
He  proved  to  be  an  able  minister  of  the  New  Testament.  His  minis- 
try to  this  church  was  greatly  blessed  and  owned  of  God  in  the  con- 
version of  many  souls.  Several  revivals  visited  this  people.  On  the 
17th  of  January,  1836,  twenty-five  persons  were  received  into  church 
fellowship.  These  were  followed  by  a  number  of  others  on  two  suc- 
cessive communion  services.  Many  among  us  to-day  remember 
Mr.  Campbell  with  tenderest  memories.  The  two  oldest  members 
of  our  church  in  point  of  connection,  Mrs.  dorian  (Cartwright) 
Preston  and  Mrs.  Frances  H.  (Chester)  Jennings,  joined  the  church 
during  Mr.  Campbell's  ministry,  on  Jan.  17,  1836,  now  over  sixty- 
two  years  ago.  Rev.  Mr.  Harries  speaks  of  Mr.  Campbell  as  being 
"modelled  after  the  Scotch  type  of  the  Puritan  character,  a  good 
scholar,  an  ardent  Christian,  rigidly  adhering  to  the  rule  of  duty 
prescribed  in  the  Word  of  God,  and  a  very  able  defender  and  ex- 
pounder of  its  principles.  He  won  and  carried  with  him  the  hearts 
of  his  people,  and  even  at  this  remote  period  his  name  is  often  men- 
tioned with  respect  and  love.''

Shortly  after  his  arrival  in  this  place  he  married  a  lady  from  New 
Jersey.  She,  however,  lived  but  a  few  months  after  their  union,  be- 
ing stricken  with  death  while  in  New  York  City  in  September,  1835, 
at  the  early  age  of  twenty-five.  He  married  a  second  and  a  third 
time,  and  at  his  death  left  several  children- 
Mr.  Campbell  was  born  at  Piscataway,  N.  J.,  Dec.  31,  1809;  gradu- 
ated from  Princeton  College,  now  University,  in  1829.  He  then 
became  a  tutor  for  three  years,  after  which  he  entered  Princeton 
Theological  Seminary,  from  1832  to  1834.  Upon  leaving  the  sem- 
inary he  began  his  labors  here.  Like  his  immediate  predecessor  and 
fellow  student  at  the  seminary,  he  was  ordained  an  evangelist  by  the 
Presbytery  of  Long  Island  April  30th,  1835,  during  his  labors  in  this 
place. 

He  was  called  from  this  church  to  the  church  at  Newburyport, 
Mass.,  the  church  which  is  noted  all  over  the  world  as  the  final  rest- 
ing place  of  the  remains  of  the  great  evangelist,  the  Rev.  George 
Whitfield,  these  being  deposited  beneath  the  pulpit,  where  they 
have  now  reposed  in  the  tranquil  sleep  of  death  for  more  than  a 
hundred  years.  Mr.  Campbell  continued  as  pastor  of  that  famous 
church  for  forty  years,  until  1877;  then  he  went  West  to  Nebraska 
for  a  short  period,  returning  again  to  Massachusetts,  in  which  State 
he  continued  to  live  until  his  death,  which  took  place  in  Rowley, 
Mass.,  Aug.  9,  1886,  at  the  age  of  seventy-six  years. 

Mr.  Campbell  was  succeeded  by  the  Rev.  William  Ingmire,  who 
was  unanimously  invited  to  settle  here  as  preacher  of  the  gospel 
with  the  promise  of  four  hundred  and  fifty  dollars  per  annum  and 
use  of  parsonage  as  payment  for  his  services,  this  action  being  taken 
at  a  special  meeting  on  July  15,  1838.  Who  had  preached  here 
during  the  nine  months  previous  to  this  date,  since  the  time  of  Mr. 
Campbell's  departure,  we  cannot  tell.  That  there  were  those  who 
supplied  during  the  months  the  records  clearly  imply.  Mr.  Ingmire 
continued  to  labor  here  for  three  years,  but  not  with  very  encour- 
aging results.  His  services  were  attended  with  more  or  less  trial. 
It  was  a  time  of  great  financial  depression,  and  the  community  felt  it. 
Further,  Mr.  Ingmire  was  the  successor  of  a  brilliant  man,  and  suf- 
fered by  the  comparison.  During  this  time  the  funds  of  the  church 
were  in  jeopardy.  No  interest  was  received,  and  the  means  of  the 
church  greatly  crippled.  "The  commercial  embarrassment  of  1836-7 
had  well  nigh  dissipated  the  whole  of  the  large  sum  given  to  the 
church  by  the  late  Mr.  Conkling.     At  this  distance  of  time,  how- 


1 1 6  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

ever,"  continues  Mr.  Lord,  "we  can  readily  perceive  that  God  in 
his  providence  ordered  that  loss  in  great  mercy  to  this  people,  for 
enough  of  these  funds  were  saved  to  answer  the  purpose  of  the 
benevolent  donor  to  secure  the  object  he  had  in  view,  viz.,  the  giving 
of  the  gospel  to  this  church  and  congregation.  Left  without  a  min- 
ister and  destitute  in  a  measure  of  the  means  for  the  support  of  the 
gospel,  the  church  was  cast  down  but  not  destroyed."  Its  spiritual 
life  was  also  very  low,  only  two  persons  uniting  with  the  church 
during  the  three  years  of  Mr,  Ingmire's  ministry,  which  came  to  a 
close  the  second  day  of  July,  1841.  Again  the  parish  sought  the 
services  of  "the  Rev.  Jonathan  Huntting  to  supply  us  with  preaching 
occasionally,  for  which  they  (the  trustees)  was  to  pay  him  as  they 
could  get  funds,  allowing  him  5  Dollars  per  Day  and  pay  his 
ferryges."     This  was  on  July  nth,  1841. 

In  1842  the  Rev.  Anson  Sheldon  supplied  the  pulpit  for  five 
Sundays  in  June  and  July.  His  services  were  so  acceptable  to  the 
people  that  on  August  ist,  1842,  he  was  unanimously  invited  to 
labor  among  them  for  one  year  at  a  salary  of  $400  and  the  parsonage. 
He  accepted  the  call  for  his  services  and  continued  to  labor  here 
until  June,  1847,  ^  period  of  five  years.  The  church  once  more  took 
on  new  life.  The  things  ready  to  die  were  measurably  strengthened, 
and  the  congregation,  according  to  Mr.  Harries,  was  in  a  better 
condition  when  Mr.  Sheldon  left  the  parish  than  it  was  when  he 
began  his  labors  here.  A  num'ber  of  souls  were  converted  during 
his  ministry,  fifteen  of  whom  united  with  the  church,  two  of  whom 
still  continue  with  us,  namely,  Mrs.  Rosina  Tuthill  and  Mrs.  Maria 
Beebe.  With  these  there  were  two  young  ladies  who  were  sisters 
that  united  by  letter.  They  were  Mary  L'H.  and  Phebe  D.  Gar- 
diner, daughters  of  Samuel  S.  Gardiner  and  Catherine  L'Homme- 
dieu,  and  descendants  of  Nathaniel  Sylvester,  the  original  settler 
and  last  sole  proprietor  of  Shelter  Island.  These  ladies  lived  with 
their  parents  in  the  manor  house.  Both  in  time  and  turn  married  the 
late  Prof.  Eben  Norton  Horsford,  Mary  L'H.  in  1847  and  Phebe 
D.  in  i860,  Mary  having  died  in  1855.  Mrs.  Phebe  D.  Horsford 
is  still  living  as  the  widow  of  Prof.  Horsford,  who  passed  away  the 
1st  of  January,  1893.  Mary  L'H.  (Gardiner)  Horsford  proved  to  be 
a  distinguished  member  of  this  church,  and  deserves  special  mention 
here,  being  an  exceptional  woman  both  in  piety  and  talent.  Her 
religious  life  was  far  above  the  average.  She  seemed  to  live  in  an- 
other atmosphere.     Her  self  control  and  spiritual  repose  was  won-

derful,  so  much  so  that  one  day  her  stepmother  said  to  her:  "Mary, 
haven't  you  any  human  nature?"  "Yes,"  she  rephed,  "it  was  born 
with  me,  but  grace  has  subdued  it."  One  can  read  that  spirit  of  con- 
secration and  devotion  in  the  following  poem,  of  which  she  was 
the  author,  and  which  likewise  testifies  to  her  exceptionable  literary 
ability: 


My  native  isle!     My  native  isle! 

Forever  round  thy  sunny  steep 
The   low   waves  curl,   with   sparkling 
foam, 

And  solemn  murmurs  deep; 
While  o'er  the  surging  waters  blue 

The  ceaseless  breezes  throng, 
And  in  the  grand  old  woods  awake 

An  everlasting  song. 

3 
The  spireless  church  stands  plain  and 
brown, 

The  winding  road  beside; 
The  green  graves  rise  in  silence  near, 

With  moss-grown  tablets  wide; 
And  early  on  the  Sabbath  morn, 

Along  the  flowery  sod, 
Unfettered  souls,  with  humble  prayer. 

Go  up  to  worship  God. 

5 
The  sunset  glow,  the  moonlit  stream, 

Part  of  my  being  are; 
The  fairy  flowers  that  bloom  and  die, 

The  skies  so  clear  and  far: 
The    stars    that    circle    Night's    dark 
brow, 

The  winds  and  waters  free. 
Each  with  a  lesson  all  its  own, 

Are  monitors  to  me. 

7 
My  native  isle!   my  native  isle! 

In  summer  climes  I've  strayed, 
But  better  love  thy  pebbled  beach 

And  lonely  forest  glade. 
Where  low  winds  stir  with  fragrant 
breath 

The  purple  violet's  head, 
And  the  stargrass  in  the  early  spring 

Peeps  from  the  sear  leafs  bed. 


The  sordid  strife  and  petty  cares 

That  crowd  the  city's  street. 
The  rush,  the  race,  the  storm  of  life, 

Upon  thee  never  meet; 
But  quiet  and  contented  hearts 

Their  daily  tasks  fulfil. 
And  meet  with  simple  hope  and  trust 

The  coming  good  and  ill. 

4 
And  dearer  far  than  sculptured  fame 

Is  that  gray  church  to  me, 
For  in  its  shade  my  mother  sleeps. 

Beneath  the  willow  tree; 
And  often,  when  my  heart  is  raised 

By  sermon  and  by  song. 
Her  friendly  smile  appears  to  me 

From  the  seraphic  throng. 

6 
The  systems  in  their  endless  march. 

Eternal   truth  proclaim; 
The  flowers  God's  love  from  day  to 
day 
In  gentlest  accents  name; 
The    skies    for   burdened    hearts    and 
faint 
A  code  of  Faith  prepare. 
What  tempest  ever  left  the  Heaven 
Without  a  blue  spot  there? 

8 
I  would  no  more  of  strife  or  tears 

Might  on  thee  ever  meet. 
But  when  against  the  tide  of  years 

This  heart  has  ceased  to  beat. 
Where     the     green     weeping-willows 
blend 
I  fain  would  go  to  rest. 
Where  waters  chant,  and  winds  may 
sweep 
Above  my  peaceful  breast.

This  spiritually-minded  and  heavenly-gifted  woman  took  cold 
one  autumn  day,  out  of  which  tetanus,  or  lock  jaw,  developed,  that 
caused  her  death  on  Nov.  25th,  1855,  at  the  early  age  of  thirty-one. 
Like  Enoch  of  old  she  had  walked  with  God  and  suddenly  was  not,  for 
God  had  taken  her.  But  though  dead  she  yet  speaketh,  speaketh 
through  this  charming  poem  and  a  number  of  others  equally  ex- 
quisite that  make  up  a  volume  of  poetry  entitled  "Indian  Legends 
and  Other  Poems,"  published  the  very  year  she  died,  and  which  she 
dedicated  to  her  father,  "as  a  slight  testimonal  of  a  daughter's  grati- 
tude and  affection."  Let  her  name  be  enshrined  forever  among  that 
galaxy  of  noble  men  and  women  given  of  God  to  this  church.  The 
parents  of  this  saint  were  both  members  of  this  church,  the  mother, 
Mary  C.  (L'Hommedieu)  Gardiner,  uniting  March  29th,  1829,  and 
the  father,  Samuel  S.  Gardiner,  twenty  years  later,  on  May  20, 
1849.  H^  had  a  remarkable  conversion  at  the  advanced  age  of  sixty 
years.  It  is  said  that  when  he  experienced  religion  he  arose  and 
made  one  of  the  most  marvellous  speeches  ever  made,  which  is 
remembered  by  many  to  this  day.  He  was  an  eminent  lawyer  and 
politician.  At  the  early  age  of  thirty-one  he  had  attained  such 
prominence  in  the  State  as  to  be  made  secretary  of  the  convention 
that  formed  the  constitution  of  the  Empire  State  in  1821.  He  was 
a  very  stately  gentleman,  tall,  handsome  and  attractive,  always  wear- 
ing a  frilled  shirt.  After  his  conversion  he  became  very  useful  in 
the  church,  which  he  had  already  served  for  a  number  of  years  as 
a  trustee,  being  a  teacher  in  the  Sunday  school. 

We  have  now  reached  the  summer  of  1847  i^i  the  tracing  down 
of  those  who  have  served  the  church  as  pastor  or  preacher.  Mr. 
Sheldon's  services  ceased  in  June,  1847.  About  this  time  the  Rev. 
Mr.  Lord  returned  to  Shelter  Island  after  an  absence  of  thirteen 
years  for  rest  and  recuperation.  During  these  years  he  had  un- 
ceasingly labored  as  pastor  of  the  Mariners'  Church  in  Boston, 
and  also  as  agent  of  the  Seamen's  Friend  Society.  His  health 
had  become  so  broken  through  these  arduous  duties  that  he  was 
forced  to  leave  the  city,  and  in  order  to  regain  his  accustomed  vigor 
and  at  the  same  time  provide  for  his  family,  he  turned  to  Shelter 
Island  with  the  purpose  of  becoming  a  tiller  of  the  soil.  Settling 
on  Menantic  Creek  he  was  soon  engaged  in  farming,  with  the  happy 
result  of  restoring  to  him  speedily  his  wonted  powers.  Again  he  was 
ready  to  go  forth  as  a  preacher  of  righteousness,  and  the  Lord  of  the 
harvest  as  speedily  pointed  out  to  him  what  proved  to  be  the  last 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  \  ig 

and  closing  field  for  his  labors.  This  church  being  without  a 
preacher  needed  a  supply.  It  turned  to  Mr.  Lord  for  the  third  time 
in  its  need.  At  first  it  simply  asked  him  to  tide  over  the  going  and 
the  coming  servant  of  God,  whoever  he  might  be,  and  so  one  Sab- 
bath in  September,  1847,  the  male  members  were  requested  to  re- 
main after  the  close  of  the  meeting  for  the  purpose  of  consulting 
"about  getting  a  minister  to  preach  for  us  (them),  and  they  Voted 
Unanimous  that  the  Trustees  ofifer  Mr.  Lord  $7.00  per  Sabbath  to 
preach  for  them  until  they  could  obtain  some  one  permanently  to 
preach  for  them."  To  this  invitation  Mr.  Lord  favorably  responded, 
but  upon  the  one  condition  that  when  thc}^  found  a  man  of  their 
choice  to  minister  to  them  in  the  things  of  Christ  he  would  step  aside, 
and  if  still  residing  among  them  would  heartily  assist  them  in  his 
settlement  and  support.  Under  these  conditions  he  begjan  his 
labors.  The  winter  came  and  went.  Each  succeeding  week 
strengthened  the  bond  between  them,  until  at  last  the  church  be- 
came conscious  that  the  man  they  were  seeking  and  that  God  had 
for  them  was  the  very  man  who  stood  before  them.  The  result  was 
that  on  Feb.  28th,  1848,  the  sense  of  the  church  was  called  for,  in  a 
meeting  held  in  the  school-house,  in  regard  to  calling  Mr.  Lord, 
not  as  a  supply,  according  to  the  custom  of  the  church  since  the 
death  of  Mr.  Hall  in  181 2,  but  as  pastor.  The  response  was  unani- 
mous, and  the  Rev.  Daniel  M.  Lord  was  thereupon  solicited  to  be- 
come the  pastor  of  this  church,  with  a  promise  of  four  hundred 
dollars  per  annum  as  salary.  After  much  prayer,  counsel  and  de- 
liberation he  assented  to  their  desires,  and  on  the  nth  of  April, 
1848,  pursuant  to  notice  given  the  parish,  met  in  the  school- 
house  "for  the  purpose  of  making  a  call  for  the  settling  of  the 
Rev.  D.  M.  Lord  as  our  pastor."  The  meeting  was  moderated  by 
the  Rev.  Anson  Sheldon,  the  church's  previous  supply.  He  opened 
it  with  prayer.  But  one  feeling  was  expressed,  all  hearts  being 
united  in  the  desire  that  the  great  Head  of  the  Church  might  ap- 
point the  man  of  their  choice  to  lead  them  like  a  shepherd  and  be  a 
pastor  to  them.  After  the  prayer  this  formal  action  was  taken: 
"Voted  unanimously  that  we  make  out  a  call  for  the  settlement  of 
Rev.  D.  M,  Lord  as  our  installed  pastor,  that  we  give  Rev.  Mr.  Lord 
annually  the  sum  of  four  hundred  dollars  and  the  use  of  the  par- 
sonage and  three  Sabbaths  per  annum.  We,  agreeably  to  the  vote, 
made  out  a  call  for  the  settlement  of  Rev.  D.  M.  Lord,  signed  by  the 
moderator  and  the  elders,  and  will  leave  it  with  the  Presbytery  of 


1 20  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

Long  Island  for  them  to  decide  on.     Present  at  the  meeting  as 
elders,  C.  S.  Loper  and  Horace  B.  Manwaring. 

"CALEB  S.  LOPER,  Clerk." 

This  call  was  committed  to  Presbytery.  Presbytery  then 
placed  it  in  Mr.  Lord's  hands.  He  agreeing  to  accept.  Presbytery 
constituted  this  sacred  relation  between  Mr.  Lord  and  this  church 
on  the  30th  of  August,  1848,  by  duly  installing  him  as  pastor  of  the 
Shelter  Island  Presbyterian  Church.  It  was  a  happy  occasion,  in 
which  both  pastor  and  people  rejoiced.  The  like  of  it  had  never  be- 
fore been  seen  on  this  island.  It  was  the  first  of  its  kind.  Almost 
two  hundred  years  had  now  elapsed  since  the  settlement  of  Shelter 
Island.  And  while  during  that  long  period  this  community  was  never 
without  those  who  feared  God  and  worked  righteousness,  while  it  had 
been  favored  with  the  presence  of  those  who  were  world-famed  evan- 
gelists of  the  glorious  news  from  heaven,  while  there  had  lived  among 
them  those  who  were  accepted  as  the  ambassadors  of  the  Most  High, 
one  of  whom  was  looked  upon  and  acknowledged  as  pastor  of  this 
church,  still  to  the  Rev.  Daniel  M.  Lord  belongs  the  honored  distinc- 
tion of  being  the  first  duly  installed  pastor  of  the  church  of  the  living 
God  on  Shelter  Island.  While  most  of  the  former  preachers  of 
God's  infinite  grace  were  as  "wayfaring  men  away  from  home  tarry- 
ing as  but  a  night,"  Mr.  Lord's  relation,  now  establisihed,  was  a 
permanent  and  abiding  one;  indeed,  as  we  shall  see  in  the  providence 
of  God,  the  relation  was  to  last  until  death  should  remove  him 
from  all  earthly  toil  to  the  heavenly  land  of  peace  and  rest.  As 
he  has  left  on  record  the  motive  that  prompted  him  and  the  condition 
of  things  spiritually  that  greeted  him  as  he  entered  upon  this  pastoral 
relation,  it  seems  eminently  proper  that  the  same  should  be  repeated 
here,  hence  the  following:  "Permit  me  to  say  that  in  accepting  the 
office  of  your  pastor  it  was  not  pecuniary  compensation  I  sought. 
If  it  had  been  my  exclusive  attention  would  have  been  given  to 
the  broad  acres  of  Menantic.  In  this  respect  my  worldly  interests 
have  suffered ;  without  this  ministry  I  might  have  been  richer  in  dol- 
lars and  cents.  I  knew  this  when  I  acceded  to  your  wishes.  Nor 
do  I  now  regret  it.  For  it  was  not  yours  but  you  I  sought.  God 
is  my  witness  how  I  have  longed  for  your  salvation.  I  entered 
upon  my  labors  among  you  in  much  weakness  and  through  many 
discouragements.  Twelve  years  had  passed  since  God  had  blessed 
this   church   and   congregation  with  a   special  dispensation   of  his

spirit.  The  church  had  become  lukewarm.  Some  oi  its  members 
had  backsHdden,  alienation  of  feeling  had  taken  place  between 
brethren,  the  cause  of  Christ  was  insulted  and  in  some  instances 
trampled  upon.  The  youth  were  irreverent  in  the  house  of  God,  and 
in  some  instances  forgetting  even  the  common  decencies  of  the 
proprieties  of  life.  They  were  without  God  and  without  hope  in  the 
world.  Their  conduct  seemed  to  say,  'Who  will  show  us  any 
good?'  But  God  has  been  better  to  me  and  to  you  than  we  had 
even  dared  to  hope.  The  fruits  of  my  ministry  is  fresh  in  your 
recollection.  Alany  of  you  were  nine  years  ago  the  subjects  of 
renewing  grace.  In  that  wonderful  refreshing  from  the  presence 
of  the  Lord  you  were  made  to  sing  of  redeeming  grace  and  dying 
love.  The  winter  of  1848  and  1849  ^^^^^  ^^  lo^^g"  remembered  by 
this  church  and  congregation  as  the  season  of  the  most  powerful  and 
extended  work  of  grace  with  which  this  island  had  been  previously 
blessed.  I  seem  to  hear  one  and  then  another  saying  at  the  slightest 
recollection  of  those  scenes  and  those  events, 

'Amazing  grace,   how   sweet  the   sound 
That  saved  a  wretch  like  me!'  " 
You  will  see  from  this  quotation  that  a  mighty  work  of  grace  took 
place  upon  this  island  during  the  winter  of  1848  and  1849. 

It  was  the  divine  witness  of  approval  to  the  relation  that  had  but 
a  few  months  previous  been  consum^mated.  God  set  his  seal  at 
once  upon  Mr.  Lord's  ministry  to  this  people,  and  that  favor  at- 
tended to  it  to  its  very  end,  for  one  revival  followed  another  during 
the  fourteen  consecutive  years  that  he  was  privileged  to  labor  here 
before  the  Lord  said  to  him,  "It  is  enough,  come  up  higher!"  As 
the  result  of  that  divine  quickening  in  1848-9,  thirty-six  persons 
united  with  the  church  on  May  20th,  1849,  now  nearly  fifty  years 
ago.  Of  these  the  name  of  Archibald  R.  Havens,  of  saintly  memory, 
heads  the  list.  Only  five  of  the  number  continue  unto  this  day, 
they  are  Samuel  B.  Jennings,  Mrs.  John  B.  Bowditch,  Mrs.  Charles 
T.  Chester,  Mrs.  Daniel  Hudson  and  Mrs.  Charles  H.  Smith,  the  first 
three  still  retaining  their  membership  in  this  church.  Nine  years 
later  another  revival  took  place,  and  on  May  4th,  1856,  thirty-two 
united  upon  their  profession  of  faith  in  the  atoning  work  of  Christ 
with  this  church,  followed  by  nine  more  during  that  year,  making 
the  total  forty-one  as  the  precious  fruits  of  that  season  of  refresh- 
ing. This  w'as  followed  by  a  third  revival  in  the  winter  of  1857  and 
1858,  mightier  still  than  any  of  the  many  and  the  mighty  that  had 


122 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 


preceded  it.  Behold  what  God  wrought  for  this  people!  "It  is 
the  Lord's  doings  and  it  is  marvellous  in  our  eyes."  Fully  one- 
half  of  the  adult  population  of  this  island,  as  the  result  of  these 
mighty  outpourings  of  divine  grace,  were  the  open  and  avowed 
professed  friends  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ.  Many  of  these  still  abide 
with  us.  They  are  Mr.  Lord's  spiritual  children,  his  joy  and  crown. 
And  so  he  labored  with  untiring  energy  and  with  marvellous  suc- 
cess until  the  Lord  strangely  took  him,  translating  him  most  sud- 
denly to  the  heavenly  glories  Aug.  26,  1861. 

It  is  no  wonder  that  Mr.  Lord  has  been  so  enshrined  by  this 
people  in  their  undying  affection  that  the  mere  mention  of  his  name 
makes  their  pulse  to  beat  more  rapidly,  their  face  to  grow  more 
brightly  as  in  memory  they  behold  the  beloved  face  and  form  of  him 
who  led  them  so  divinely.  Few  pastors  ever  wrought  themselves 
into  the  very  being  of  their  people  as  did  this  dear  man  of  God.  As  1 
think  of  all  this,  how  his  radiant  form  adorns  your  homes,  how  his 
name  is  as  sweetest  smells  to  your  senses,  how  in  labors  more  abund- 
ant the  power  of  Christ  was  so  wondrously  displayed,  I  thank  my 
God  that  He  hath  appointed  me  as  one  of  his  successors  in  the  same 
pastoral  office,  and  at  the  same  time  invoke  His  grace  to  attend 
me  that  I  may  be  faithful  in  this  trust. 

His  death,  already  referred  to,  was  both  tragic  and  sudden.  It 
occurred  on  Monday,  Aug.  26,  1861,  while  he  was  making  prepara- 
tions for  the  comfort  and  entertainment  of  the  Presbytery  of 
Long  Island,  which  was  to  meet  on  this  island  the  next  day. 
Leaving  his  home  in  a  wagon  with  three  of  his  children  for  the 
purpose  of  securing  a  sheep  oflf  his  extended  farm  that  was  to 
be  slaughtered  and  prepared  to  refresh  the  members  of  Presby- 
tery, he  was  driving  along  the  road  when  suddenly  his  horse  took 
fright  at  the  noise  of  some  boards  which  a  neighbor  was  removing 
from  one  place  to  another,  and  though  at  first  the  animal  seemed 
to  be  brought  under  control,  it  started  again,  this  time  throwing 
Mr.  Lord  from  the  wagon  so  as  to  strike  on  his  forehead,  inflicting 
what  speedily  proved  to  be  a  fatal  wound.  While  lying  prostrate 
upon  the  ground  a  wheel  of  the  wagon  likewise  passed  over  his 
body,  mortally  injuring  it.  Neighbors  near  by  ran  to  his  assistance 
and  relief.  The  first  words  he  spoke  were  words  not  concerning 
himself,  but  his  children,  whether  "those  dear  children  had  been 
hurt,"  and  to  "take  care  of  them."  Then  he  called  for  water  and 
asked  that  a  physician  he  sent  for,  at  the  same  time  saying  that  he 


Slielter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  123 

must  be  bled.     Loving  hands  did  all  they  could  for  him,  and  then 
conveyed  him  to  his  home. 

He  realized  the  fact  that  death  was  near,  and  so  he  said  in  a  few 
moments  after:  "The  Lord  have  mercy,  I  am  going."  Though 
upon  reaching  his  home  he  showed  some  signs  of  consciousness, 
"neither  the  voice  of  his  wife  nor  the  kisses  of  his  children  could 
evoke  another  word  of  love  from  those  pale  lips.  God  had  sealed 
them  with  a  sacred  seal.  Twenty  minutes  more  the  husband,  the 
father,  the  brother,  the  pastor,  continued  to  breathe  in  the  midst  of 
his  kindred  and  friends,  and  not  a  groan  nor  a  sigh  gave  sign  of 
pain.     He  fell  asleep,  and  no  struggle  marked  his  sweet  repose." 

"So  Jesus  slept.     God's  dying  Son 
Passed  through  the  grave  and  blessed  the  bed; 
Rest  here,  blest  saint!  till  from  His  throne 
The  moring  break  and  pierce  the  shade." 

Three  days  later  his  funeral  took  place  in  this  church  in  the 
presence  of  kindred.  Presbytery  and  flock  of  God,  to  say  nothing 
of  the  great  circle  of  friends  that  mourned  over  his  going,  spread- 
ing over  the  New  England  and  the  Middle  States,  all  stricken  to  the 
dust.  And  from  that  day  until  the  present  his  sacred  remains  lie 
sleeping  in  yonder  cemetery  awaiting  the  resurrection  of  the  just, 
whither  tender  hands  and  bleeding  hearts  bore  them  that  mem- 
orable day  in  August,  1861. 

Never  having  seen  Mr.  Lord  I  cannot  speak  of  him  but  from 
observation.  However,  there  is  one  still  living  who  knew  him 
intimately,  and  who  in  the  providence  of  God  was  called  upon  to 
perform  the  kind  and  solemn  office  of  delivering  his  funeral  sermon, 
the  Rev.  Epher  Whitaker,  D.  D.,  of  Southold.  It  is  from  a  printed 
copy  of  that  able  discourse,  abounding  with  personal  and  exalted 
testimony,  that  the  foregoing  and  the  following  quotations  are 
given:  *Tt  would  be  impossible  in  a  brief  space  to  set  forth  even  the 
main  points  of  his  character.  His  peculiar  training  and  wide  range 
of  intercourse  with  other  men  made  him  at  ease  in  any  presence, 
but  never  erased  one  line  from  his  features,  which  gave  him  a  charm- 
ing individuality.  He  was  always  and  delightfully  himself.  Having 
a  physical  frame  of  medium  size  he  was  able,  through  all  his  life, 
to  keep  it  vigorous,  sinewy  and  symmetrical,  and  even  now,  on  his 
lifeless  face,  we  may  trace  the  fair  lines  of  that  manly  beauty  which 


124  Slielter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

the  friends  of  his  early  years  so  well  remember.  He  usually  showed 
a  degree  of  activity  that  would  have  utterly  overcome  almost  any 
man.  Closely  allied  to  this  feature  of  his  character  was  another 
which  made  his  home  the  scene  of  an  unbounded  and  almost  un- 
ceasing hospitality.  His  largeness  of  heart  was  vast  enough  to 
make  him  desire  the  welfare  of  every  human  being,  and  the  fountain 
of  his  cheerfulness  was  a  perpetual  spring  of  delight  to  all  who 
shared  his  company.  His  heart  was  full  of  kindness  and  love  for 
every  class,  but  it  knew  not  the  fear  of  man  in  any  walk  of  life. 
He  had  a  special  love  for  the  company  of  Christian  ministers. 

"And  how  shall  I  speak  of  his  virtues  in  the  family — his  tender 
love,  his  sacred  truth,  his  wise  forethought,  his  delicate  sympathy, 
his  unceasing  devotion,  his  supporting  hand,  his  protecting  arm, 
and  all  those  nameless  qualities  which  made  him,  in  so  high  a  degree, 
the  faithful  husband,  the  judicious  father,  the  beloved  brother? 

"It  was  Mr.  Lord's  high  and  keen  sense  of  moral  responsibility, 
as  well  as  his  great  love  for  all  his  fellow-men,  that  often  called  him 
away  from  his  home.  What  zeal  and  power  has  he  not  shown  in 
staying  the  waste  and  the  woe  inflicted  by  the  scourge  of  intemper- 
ance? What  village  of  the  county  has  not  been  thrilled  by  his 
startling  pictures  and  carried  to  unknown  heights  of  enthusiasm 
by  the  flood  of  his  manly  eloquence?  Yes,  we  have  heard  from  his 
lips  an  eloquence  which  came  not  from  the  schools.  He  was  no 
surface  reformer.  He  laid  the  foundation  of  all  his  work  on  the 
solid  rock  of  religion.  This  was  one  source  of  his  excellence  as  a 
minister  of  God's  word.  He  had  his  own  style  of  preaching,  and 
though  it  was  all  his  own,  it  was  nearer  the  style  of  the  model 
Preacher,  who  uttered  the  Sermon  on  the  Alount,  than  any  modern 
invention  or  resuscitated  antiquity  used  by  popular  preachers  who 
make  their  names  notorious  in  the  world.  He  spoke  as  one  having 
authority.  Few  men  could  speak  like  him  in  the  use  of  this  element 
of  the  preacher's  power.  His  unusual  success  in  the  ministry  is 
good  evidence  for  us  that  God  approved  his  work.  Few  so  well 
deserved  to  be  called  Godlike.  Few  so  closely  resemble  the  Son 
of  Man,  who  came  not  to  be  ministered  unto  but  to  minister,  and 
to  give  his  life  a  ransom  for  many." 

Loving  tribute  fitly  spoken.  Daniel  Minor  Lord  was  born  at 
Lyme,  Conn.,  April  9th,  1800.  His  father  dying  while  he  was  yet 
a  boy,  he  was  placed  in  the  care  of  a  relative  who  was  a  prominent 
merchant  in  the  city  of  New  York.     There  he  grew  to  manhood  and 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  125 

experienced  religion.  Feeling  called  of  God  to  the  ministry,  he 
entered  the  Academy  of  Monson,  Mass.,  from  whence  he  went  to 
Amherst  College,  graduating  in  1830.  He  then  entered  Princeton 
Theological  Seminary,  and  there  successfully  pursued  the  study  of 
theology,  after  which  he  entered  upon  his  labors  in  this  place. 
Being  called  to  Boston,  he  left  Shelter  Island  in  1834  to  become 
the  pastor  of  the  Mariners'  Church  in  that  New  England  city.  There 
he  labored  most  successfully  for  thirteen  years,  until  forced  to  retire 
in  order  to  recuperate  his  health.  While  laboring  there  he  was  in- 
stnmiental  in  converting,  among  many  others,  the  Rev.  Mr.  Jones, 
who  afterwards  became  the  noted  chaplain  of  Sailors'  Snug  Harbor. 
This  Mr.  Jones  was  a  sailor.  One  day  he  was  sent  by  his  captain 
over  the  side  of  the  ship  to  do  some  painting.  It  was  an  exceedingly 
stormy  day,  the  sea  was  so  rough  that  no  boat  could  have  been  low- 
ered safely  into  it.  As  he  was  painting  he  all  at  once  looked  up  and 
saw  to  his  amazement  that  two  of  the  strands  of  the  rope  that  held 
the  scaffold  were  cut,  and  that  what  supported  him  was  the  remain- 
ing strand.  His  blood  ran  cold.  Horror  came  over  him,  and  the 
thought  that  arose  in  his  mind  prompted  the  question,  "Jones,  if 
that  strand  had  broken  where  would  you  have  been?"  And  a  voice 
that  seemed  to  be  plainly  heard  made  answer,  "Jones,  you'd  have 
been  in  hell!"  It  rang  through  his  ears  and  kept  ringing.  He 
could  not  get  rid  of  it  until  he  had  made  his  peace  with  God.  He 
devoted  his  life  to  his  Savior's  service  with  the  above  noted  success. 
And  now  in  the  starry  diadem  of  Brother  Lord  in  glory  one  gem 
shines  with  conspicuous  brilliancy.  It  represents  the  conversion  of 
Rev.  Mr.  Jones,  in  which  Rev.  Mr.  Lord  was  chiefly  instrumental. 
"For  that  one  service  alone,"  said  the  Rev.  Dr.  Theodore  L. 
Cuyler  to  me,  "the  memory  of  Mr.  Lord  will  continue  blessed." 
One  hundred  and  thirty-three  persons  united  with  this  church  dur- 
ing his  third  period  of  ministry  to  this  church.  At  the  close  of  the 
revival  of  1856  the  church  had  to  be  enlarged  in  order  to  accommo- 
date the  people.  This  was  accomplished  in  1858  by  the  addition  of 
fifteen  feet  to  the  length  of  the  building  on  the  north  end,  which 
gave  room  for  twenty-eight  more  pews  in  the  body  of  the  church. 
At  the  same  time  the  belfry  was  added,  giving  a  much  more  churchly 
appearance  to  the  building.  These  improvements  were  under  the 
care  of  Martin  L.  Prince,  George  G.  Penny  and  Marcellus  D.  Loper, 
who  were  appointed  a  building  committee  for  the  purpose  of  effect- 
ing these  improvements  at  the  annual  parish  meeting  held  June  15th, 


126  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

1858.  The  whole  involved  an  outlay  of  about  one  thousand  five 
hundred  dollars.  Upon  its  completion  the  enlarged  and  improved 
sanctuary  was  rededicated  by  Mr.  Lord  to  the  service  and  glory  of 
God. 

Mr.  Lord  was  twice  married,  his  first  wife  being  Miss  Brown, 
whose  mother,  Mrs.  Hannah  P.  Brown,  was  the  author  of  that 
noted  hymn,  "I  love  to  steal  awhile  away."  Miss  Brown  lived  but  a 
short  time  after  her  marriage  to  Mr.  Lord.  During  his  pastorate 
in  Boston  Mr.  Lord  married  again  a  Miss  Eliza  A.  Hardy,  of  Chat- 
ham, Mass.,  by  whom  he  had  seven  children.  The  mother  was  still 
living  with  all  her  children  when  we  began  the  preparation  of  these 
papers.  Two  of  the  sons  of  Mr.  Lord  entered  the  ministry,  a  third 
became  a  prominent  business  man  in  Chicago,  while  two  of  the 
daughters  are  successfully  maintaining  a  new  educational  enterprise 
in  this  State.

CHAPTER    VII. 

Mr.  Lord  was  succeeded  by  the  Rev.  Charles  H.  Holloway,  who 
was  invited  to  act  as  stated  supply  for  one  year.  He  accepted  and 
began  his  labors  in  September,  1861.  He  continued  in  this  relation 
until  February,  1863,  when  he  was  duly  installed  by  Presbytery  as 
pastor.  In  this  relation  lie  continued  until  Aug.  2d,  1864,  when  his 
pastoral  relation  was  dissolved  by  his  own  request.  Mr.  Holloway 
possessed  great  literary  ability,  and  while  the  equal  of  his  predecessor 
in  this  respect  did  not  possess  that  personal  magnetism  of  Mr.  Lord, 
and  so  failed  to  meet  the  expectations  of  some  of  the  congregation. 
By  those  who  knew  him  his  memory  is  still  cherished  with  affection. 
He  is  still  living  and  cherishes  most  highly  the  three  years  of  labor 
he  was  permitted  to  engage  in  here. 

It  was  during  his  connection  with  this  church  that  the  present 
parsonage  was  built,  and  thus  he  and  his  family  were  the  first  to 
occupy  it.  Previous  to  this  the  parsonage  was  the  house  now  owned 
and  occupied  by  Mr.  Edward  P.  Baldwin  and  family,  and  as  such 
was  in  turn  the  home  of  the  Rev.  Randolph  Campbell,  Rev.  William 
Ingmire  and  the  Rev.  Anson  Sheldon  and  their  families  while 
these  clergymen  served  the  Society.  The  use  of  it  was  likewise  in- 
cluded in  the  salary  of  the  Rev.  Daniel  M.  Lord.  He,  however,  did 
not  reside  there,  having  his  own  home  in  Menantic,  where  Mr.  Henry 
Walther  now  lives,  and  of  which  he  is  the  worthy  owner.  The  first 
parsonage  owned  by  the  parish  was  bought  about  1834  with  part 
of  the  legacy  that  Mr.  Benjamin  Conkling  bequeathed  to  the  church. 
It  remained  in  the  possession  of  the  church  until  Mr.  Smith  Baldwin 
bought  it  about  1850.  The  Rev.  Daniel  Hall,  who  organized  the 
church  in  1808,  and  who  lived  and  labored  on  this  island  from  1805 
to  the  day  of  his  death  in  1812,  made  his  home  in  the  house  now 
owned  and  occupied  by  Mr,  Charles  W.  Jennings,  while  the  very 
first  minister  to  live  and  labor  among  the  people  of  this  community, 
the  Rev.  William  Adams,  had  his  home  in  the  mansion  of  Brinley 
Sylvester,  Esq.  These  then  have  been  the  various  homes  of  God's 
servants  who  lived  on  this  island  while  they  labored  here.  Rev. 
Ezra  Youngs  made  his  home  in  Greenport,  and  the  Rev.  Jonathan 
Huntting  in  Southold  while  they  served  this  Society. 

The  successor  of  Rev.  Mr.  Holloway  was  the  Rev.  Thomas  H. 
Harries,  who  came  for  the  first  time  to  this  island  on  Saturdav,  Nov. 


128  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

19th,  1864,  in  order  to  supply  the  pulpit  the  following  day.  He  did 
this  with  such  acceptance  that  five  weeks  later  he  again  occupied 
the  sacred  desk.  The  day  was  Christmas.  In  harmony  with  the 
spirit  of  that  glad  day  this  church  gave  Mr.  Harries  a  call  to  preach 
for  one  year,  at  a  salary  of  seven  hundred  dollars.  The  invitation 
was  accepted  and  he  began  his  labors  with  the  first  Sunday  of  the 
new  year.  Two  months  had  hardly  passed  by  when  his  services, 
having  proved  so  acceptable  to  the  people,  he  was  unanimously 
requested  to  become  their  pastor  at  the  increased  salary  of  seven 
hundred  and  fifty  dollars,  together  with  the  use  of  the  parsonage. 
The  call  was  presented  to  Presbytery  at  its  spring  meeting.  Pres- 
bytery placed  it  in  the  hands  of  Rev.  Mr.  Harries,  who,  having  con- 
sidered it  earnestly  and  prayerfully,  accepted  the  same.  Arrange- 
ments were  made  for  his  installation,  and  on  the  evening  of  the  8th 
of  June,  1865,  he  was  duly  inducted  into  the  pastoral  office  of  this 
church  by  the  following  clergy:  the  Rev.  Clark  Lockwood,  who  con- 
ducted the  opening  exercises;  the  Rev.  James  T.  Hamlin,  who 
preached  the  sermon  and  proposed  the  constitutional  questions;  the 
Rev.  Edward  Stratton,  who  delivered  the  charge  to  the  pastor;  the 
Rev.  Dr.  Epher  Whitaker,  who  charged  the  people,  and  the  Rev.  Mr. 
Knouse,  wfho  ofifered  the  concluding  prayer,  the  benediction  being 
pronounced  by  the  newly  installed  pastor.  Rev.  Mr.  Harries  was 
the  third  person  to  be  thus  placed  by  Presbytery  over  this  church, 
and  in  that  pastoral  relation  he  continued  to  serve  the  longest  of  all, 
a  continuous  service  of  nineteen  years,  and  then  only  brought  to  a 
close  because  of  his  failing  health,  which  necessitated  his  retirement 
in  1884.  He  proved  himself  an  able  and  efficient  workman  in  the 
vineyard  of  the  Lord.  He  too  was  used  of  God  to  the  conversion 
of  many  souls.  Like  Mr.  Lord's,  his  ministry  was  also  attended  with 
revival  power  and  seasons  of  refreshing.  More  than  two  hundred 
persons  were  added  to  the  church  during  his  ministry.  He  greatly 
endeared  himself  to  this  people,  and  when  in  the  providence  of  God 
he  was  forced  to  resign,  through  ill  health,  it  was  not  without  deep 
regrets  that  this  church  parted  with  him  who  had  so  faithfully,  so 
ably  and  so  long  served  them  in  the  holy  office  of  pastor.  What  he 
was,  both  as  a  man  and  brother  beloved  in  Christ,  and  as  a  bishop 
of  souls,  is  best  expressed  by  the  following  resolutions  unanimously 
adopted  by  the  church  at  the  close  of  his  pastorate: 

"Whereas,  Our  pastor,  the  Rev.  Thomas  Harries,  on  account  of 
ill  health,  has  felt  it  necessary  to  tender  his  resignation  as  pastor  of 
this  church;  and 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  129 

"Whereas,  We  deplore  the  circumstances  which  seem  to  make 
it  necessary  for  us  to  sever  the  pastoral  relation  with  feeHngs  of 
heartfelt  sadness; 

"Resolved,  That  the  twenty  years  of  faithful  service  rendered  by 
him  to  this  parish  have  been  greatly  blessed  in  upbuilding  our  church, 
increasing  its  membership  and  creating  feelings  of  Christian  fellow- 
ship and  good  will; 

"Resolved,  That  for  his  ministering  to  the  temporal  wants  of  the 
poor  and  the  spiritual  needs  of  all,  for  the  tender  solicitude  and 
earnest  sympathy  which  always  brought  him  to  the  bedside  of  the 
sick  and  dying,  and  for  his  exertions  to  ameliorate  the  condition  of 
suffering  humanity  at  all  times  and  under  all  circumstances,  the 
memibers  of  this  parish  and  the  people  of  this  island  owe  him  a  debt 
of  gratitude  which  they  can  never  repay; 

"Resolved,  That  in  parting  our  kindest  wishes  will  ever  attend 
him  as  one  worthy  of  our  full  confidence  and  highest  esteem." 

Upon  leaving  Shelter  Island  Mr.  Harries  took  up  his  residence  in 
the  city  of  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  where  he  passed  the  remaining  days  of 
his  earthly  life.  He  fell  asleep  in  Jesus  August  4th,  1888,  aged 
seventy-five  years.  He  was  born  in  Wales  on  the  23d  of  February, 
1813,  and  came  to  America  when  a  boy.  At  first  he  worked  in  a 
large  printing  house,  Henry  R.  Pitney  being  his  employer.  Here  he 
soon,  by  his  zeal,  intelligence  and  attention  to  business,  became  his 
employer's  chief  man  at  the  early  age  of  twenty-one.  It  was  while 
thus  engaged  that  he  felt  called  to  the  gospel  ministry  and  decided 
to  enter  the  same.  Relinquishing  his  bright  business  prospects  he 
began  his  theological  studies,  at  the  same  time  preaching  where  he 
had  opportunity.  And  thus  he  continued  until  he  was  twenty-four 
years  of  age,  when  in  the  month  of  April,  1837,  he  was  ordained  and 
entered  upon  the  full  ministry  of  the  gospel.  For  the  next  two  or 
three  years  he  was  mainly  engaged  as  an  evangelist,  after  which  he 
became  the  pastor  of  Upper  Aquebogue  Congregational  Church, 
and  continued  so  for  a  number  of  years. 

Receiving  a  call  from  the  Mount  Sinai  Congregational  Church 
he  moved  to  Miller's  Place  to  enter  upon  the  duties  of  that  oflfice. 
While  occupying  the  pastoral  office  to  the  Mount  Sinai  Church  he 
was  largely  instrumental  in  the  establishment  of  Miller's  Place  Acad- 
emy, and  for  over  ten  years  carried  it  on  with  advantage  to  himself 
and  great  usefulness  to  others.  From  Miller's  Place  he  went  to 
Northville  about  the  beginning  of  the  Civil  War  to  become  the  min- 


130  Slielter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

ister  of  the  Congregational  Church  in  that  community.  Here  he 
remained  until  he  was  called  by  this  church,  on  Christmas  Day  of 
1864,  to  occupy  its  pulpit.  He  accepted,  as  we  have  seen,  was 
shortly  afterward  installed  as  pastor,  and  served  for  twenty  years. 
Altogether  he  was  a  preacher  of  righteousness  for  fifty  years.  Mr. 
Harries  was  married  to  Miss  Joanna  Van  Zandt  Duryea  about  the 
year  1839.  For  forty-three  years  they  lived  in  blessed  union  to- 
gether, her  death  occurring  in  1883  in  the  present  parsonage.  They 
were  blessed  with  four  children,  named  Thomas  W.,  Charles  D,, 
Mary  W.  and  Elizabeth. 

Mr.  Harries  was  succeeded  by  the  Rev.  A.  P.  Bissell,  D.  D.,  who 
was  recommended  to  this  church  by  the  Rev.  Dr.  Thomas  S.  Hast- 
ings, of  Union  Seminary,  New  York  City.  He  preached  on  three 
Sundays  in  November,  1884,  and  at  the  close  of  the  morning  service 
of  the  last  Sabbath  in  that  month  was  unanimously  invited  to  become 
the  Society's  stated  supply  for  one  year  at  a  salary  of  one  thousand 
dollars,  the  use  of  the  parsonage  and  six  Sabbath  vacations.  Mr. 
Bissell  accepted  and  began  his  labors  on  Svmday,  December  15, 
1884.  He  continued  in  this  relation  until  May  i,  1889.  His  min- 
istry was  attended  with  the  divine  blessing,  and  various  additions 
were  made  to  the  membership  of  the  church.  A  blessed  quickening 
in  1885  resulted  in  fifteen  uniting  with  the  church  on  Sunday,  April 
2d  of  that  year. 

Mr.  Bissell  was  a  very  scholarly  man,  being  the  only  minister  of' 
all  who  have  served  on  this  island  to  receive  the  degree  of  Doctor 
of  Divinity,  which  was  conferred  upon  him  by  the  University  of 
Vermont  in  1884.  The  same  year  he  received  the  degree  of  Doctor 
of  Philosophy  from  the  University  of  Leipsic,  Germany,  where  he 
was  a  student  from  1882  to  1884. 

Dr.  Bissell  was  born  in  Essex  County,  N.  Y.  He  gradu- 
ated from  the  University  of  Vermont  with  high  honors.  For  seven 
years  he  was  a  teacher,  after  which  he  studied  theology,  graduating 
from  Union  Theological  Seminary  in  1868.  The  next  four  years  he 
served  as  pastor,  and  the  following  four  years  as  Professor  of  He- 
brew in  Blackburn  University  at  Carlinville,  111.  In  1876-7  he  was 
instructor  in  Hebrew  in  Lane  Seminary.  From  1877  to  1882  he 
served  again  in  the  pastorate.  The  next  two  years  he  spent  abroad. 
Upon  his  return  from  Europe  he  began  his  labors  here,  and  at  their 
close  became  in  1891  Professor  of  Hebrew  and  Greek  Exegesis  and 
German  in  Biddle  University,  Charlotte,  N.  C,  which  high  position 
he  still  discharsres.

Dr.  Bissell  was  followed  in  the  ministerial  office  here  by  the  Rev. 
Benjamin  F.  Parliman,  a.  graduate  of  Princeton  Theological  Sem- 
inary, who  began  his  services  to  this  people  as  stated  supply  in  De- 
cember, 1889,  3-nd  continued  them  to  September,  1895.  He  served 
the  church  with  earnestness  and  consecration,  and  his  labors  were 
blessed  with  a  remarkable  revival  of  religion  in  1891,  the  fruitage 
of  which  was  the  largest  ingathering  of  souls  into  this  church  in  its 
history,  forty-five  uniting  with  the  church  on  Sunday,  March  15th, 
1891.  It  must  have  been  a  memorable  occasion.  Two  of  that 
number  have  since  been  called  to  the  assembly  of  the  church  of  the 
First  Born  on  high.  Miss  Leonora  Ketcham  and  Miss  Nellie  S.  Jen- 
nings, both  young  disciples  of  Christ,  who  were  known  and  are  still 
lovingly  remembered  for  their  holy  zeal  and  good  works.  "They 
rest  from  their  labors  but  their  works  do  follow  them." 

The  former  lost  her  life  while  bathing.  But  it  was  not  in  vain, 
for  both  the  manner  and  suddenness  of  it  made  a  deep  impression 
upon  the  community  which  is  felt  to  this  day.  The  latter's  death 
was  likewise  speedy  and  startling,  and  being  but  a  few  months 
passed,  is  still  fresh  in  our  memory.  May  every  one  of  their  com- 
panions, who  with  them  formed  that  great  company  on  that  mem- 
orable Sabbath  in  March,  1891,  leave  as  positive  a  going  "to  be  with 
Christ  which  is  far  better"  when  they  depart  this  life,  as  all  acknowl- 
edge concerning  the  two  whose  names  are  here  given  a  place  in 
these  papers. 

Besides  this  glorious  work  of  grace  brother  Parliman's  ministry 
is  conspicuous  for  the  erection  of  the  present  commodious  and  at- 
tractive chapel. 

Mr.  Parliman  was  born  in  Haverstraw,  June  19,  1855,  grad- 
uated from  Princeton  Seminary  in  1887.  The  same  year  he  was 
ordained  and  installed  pastor  of  the  church  at  Salt  Point,  N.  Y., 
by  the  Presbytery  of  North  River.  He  is  now  the  pastor  of  the 
First  Presbyterian  Church  in  Haverstraw,  N.  Y.,  his  native  place. 

After  Mr.  Parliman  came  the  present  incumbent,  the  author  of 
these  papers,  who  was  unanimously  called  to  become  the  pastor 
of  this  church  on  November  17,  1895.  The  following  January, 
1896,  he  was  duly  inducted  into  that  sacred  office  by  the  Presbytery 
of  Long  Island,  the  following  clergymen  assisting:  Rev.  Frederick 
G.  Beebe,  moderator  of  the  Presbytery,  presided  and  asked  the  con- 
stitutional questions;  Rev.  Minot  S.  Morgan  read  the  Scriptures; 
prayer  was  ofifered  by  Elder  Schuyler  B.  Horton;  the  sermon  was 


132  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

preached  by  the  Rev.  J.  J.  Dunlop;  Rev.  Dr.  E.  C.  Lawrence  charged 
the  pastor;  Rev.  Dr.  Epher  Whitaker,  the  honored  stated  clerk  of 
Presbytery  for  over  forty  years,  charged  the  people,  and  the  newly 
installed  pastor  pronounced  the  benediction.  Concerning  his  labors 
here  it  will  be  left  for  others  to  speak.  He  was  born  in  the  city  of 
Brooklyn,  N,  Y.,  Sept.  29,  1858,  and  is  the  son  of  Jacob  and  M.  D.  C. 
(Lehnert)  Mallmann.  Early  in  life  he  felt  the  need  of  a  Savior  and 
gave  his  heart  to  Christ.  Entering  into  mercantile  life  he  in  time 
became  the  successor  of  his  father  in  the  baking  business.  This  he 
carried  on  for  seven  years,  when  feeling  himself  called  to  the  gospel 
ministry  he  disposed  of  his  business  and  began  to  fit  himself  for 
the  ministry,  at  first  in  Springfield,  Mass.,  as  one  of  the  original 
students  of  the  School  for  Christian  Workers,  now  known  as  the 
Bible  Normal  College,  and  also  under  the  instruction  of  a  private 
tutor,  after  which  he  entered  Princeton  Theological  Seminary,  from 
which  he  graduated  in  1889.  During  the  last  year  in  the  Seminary, 
and  the  first  year  after  graduation,  he  was  minister  in  charge  of 
Olivet  Chapel,  under  the  care  of  the  Lafayette  Avenue  Presbyterian 
Church,  of  which  the  Rev.  Theodore  L.  Cuyler,  D.D.,  LL.D., 
at  that  time  was  pastor,  and  of  which  church  before  entering  the 
ministry  he  was  a  member.  In  that  chapel  he  was  ordained  by  the 
Presbytery  of  Brooklyn,  October  23d,  1889.  In  the  early  part  of 
1890  he  received  a  unanimous  call  as  pastor  from  the  First  Presby- 
terian Church  of  Nevd;own,  N.  Y.,  which  he  accepted,  and  was 
installed  by  the  Presbytery  of  Nassau  on  the  evening  of  May  8th, 
1890.  Here  he  continued  to  labor  until  the  fall  of  1895.  While 
serving  the  Newtown  Presbyterian  Church  he  was  honored  with 
the  great  privilege  of  building  one  of  the  finest  suburban  church 
buildings  in  the  country,  through  the  munificent  bequest  of  over 
sixty  thousand  dollars  by  John  Goldsmith  Paynter,  Esq.,  deceased, 
to  that  Society.  Immediately  upon  the  close  of  his  labors  at  New- 
town, N.  Y.,  he  entered  upon  his  services  here,  in  which  he  still 
continues.  On  April  nth,  1878,  he  married  Miss  Hannah  Matilda 
Robinson,  daughter  of  Charles  B.  and  Catherine  (Babcock)  Robin- 
son. Their  union  has  been  blessed  with  three  children,  two  daugh- 
ters and  a  son,  the  latter,  named  Payson,  passing  on  to  the  "Father's 
house"  on  Aug.  nth,  1885,  aged  nearly  eleven  months.  The  names 
of  the  daughters  are  Ruth  Robinson,  now  the  wife  of  Dr.  F.  Everett 
Benjamin,  of  Shelter  Island,  N.  Y.,  and  Maria  D.  CaroHne  Mallmann. 
And  here  the  writer  wishes  to  make  use  of  the  privilege  of  rising  up 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  i^^ 

and  calling-  the  memory  of  his  dear  mother  "blessed,"  for  he  feels  that 
to  her  parental  faithfulness  in  religious  training,  untiring  efforts  for 
his  welfare,  and  self-denying  labors  he  owes  everything  under  God  in 
that  He  hath  "counted  me  faithful,  putting  me  into  the  ministry." 
Oh,  that  precious  name  of  "mother!"  how  sweet  it  sounds!  We  shall 
meet  again,  dear  mother.  In  the  meantime  may  your  "dear  boy,"  by 
the  grace  of  God,  ever  prove  himself  worthy  of  that  care  you  so 
unceasingly  bestowed  upon  him. 

We  turn  now  to  speak  of  some  of  the  members  of  this  church 
who  have  been  an  honor  to  it  and  who  have  stood  in  it  as  "pillars 
in  the  temple  of  our  God."  We  cannot  mention  every  one  of  them,  for 
space  and  time  will  not  permit  it.  If,  therefore, any  names  are  omitted 
that  perhaps  ought  to  appear,  in  charity  let  it  be  remembered  that 
some  things  and  some  names  must  of  necessity  be  omitted.  Though 
their  names  may  be  wanting  here,  upon  the  Lamb's  book  of  life  they 
have  been  everlastingly  entered,  and  have  therefore  become  inherit- 
ors of  the  eternal  glories.  Earth's  honor  roll  may  be  faulty,  heaven's 
never.  There  even  the  least  are  remembered  to  such  a  degree 
that  it  is  said,  "Many  that  are  first  shall  be  last,  and  the  last  shall  be 
first."  At  various  times  in  its  history  this  church  has  'been  repre- 
sented by  her  sons  in  the  gospel  ministry.  We  have  already  had 
occasion  to  speak  of  several  of  them.  At  the  present  time  we  have 
two  such  honored  representatives  in  the  persons  of  the  Rev.  Charles 
E.  Havens  and  the  Rev.  Nelson  B.  Chester,  who  have  been  ap- 
pointed of  the  King  to  be  "watchmen  on  the  walls  of  Zion." 

The  first.  Rev.  Charles  E.  Havens,  is  the  second  son  of  Stratton 
M.  Havens  and  Lydia  Ann  Chester,  born  on  Shelter  Island  March 
13th,  1850.  Early  in  youth  he  felt  the  need  of  the  Savior  and  sur- 
rendered his  soul  into  the  hands  of  the  Appointed  One  for  safety, 
being  converted  to  God  under  the  Rev.  Mr.  Harries  at  the  very  begin- 
ning of  his  ministry  here.  At  the  age  of  fifteen  he  united  with  the 
church  on  July  9th,  1865.  Feeling  himself  called  to  the  ministry,  he 
began  his  preparation  for  the  same  first  in  the  academy  at  Southold, 
where  he  was  a  student  from  1868  to  1870.  Here  he  was  fitted  for  col- 
lege. In  1870  he  entered  Hamilton  College,  from  which  institution 
he  graduated  in  1874.  The  next  four  years  he  devoted  to  teaching, 
serving  as  Principal  of  ^^^lexico  Academy,  in  ]\Iexico,  Oswego  county, 
N.  Y.  In  1878  he  began  the  study  of  theology  in  Union  Theo- 
logical Seminary.  New^  York  City,  and  graduated  therefrom  in  1881. 
His  first  call  was  from  the  Presbyterian  Church,  Green  Island,  N.  Y., 


I  74  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

where  he  was  ordained  and  installed  September  loth,  1881.  Here 
he  remained  until  September  ist,  1885,  when  he  became  the  pastor 
of  the  Congregational  Church  of  West  Lebanon,  N.  H.,  which 
office  he  continued  to  discharge  until  1893.  In  that  year,  having 
accepted  a  call  to  the  pastorate  of  the  Congregational  Church  in 
Newton  Highlands,  Mass.,  he  removed  thence  and  began  his  pas- 
toral duties  to  that  people,  in  which  he  still  continues.  Brother 
Havens  is  highly  esteemed  by  his  brethren  in  the  ministry,  and  is 
greatly  beloved  by  his  people,  who  constitute  a  strong  and  flourish- 
ing church  in  that  suburb  of  Massachusett's  greatest  city.  On  July 
13th,  1881,  he  was  married  to  Miss  Ellen  A.  Hall,  daughter  of  the 
Rev.  John  H.  and  Julia  (Gillespie)  Hall,  and  to  them  have  been 
born  four  children,  named  Ralph  Edgar,  Elloine  L.,  Leon  C.  and 
Maurice   H. 

Our  second  living  representative  in  the  gospel  ministry,  the  Rev. 
Nelson  Burdick  Chester,  was  born  on  Shelter  Island  January  20th, 
1864.  He  is  the  second  son  of  Charles  T.  Chester  and  Eleanor  Jen- 
nings. His  boyhood  was  passed  in  the  manner  usual  to  country  lads, 
namely,  of  working  on  the  farm  in  the  summer  and  of  attending  the 
public  school  in  the  winter.  At  the  early  age  of  twelve  he  united 
with  God's  people  in  1876,  being  graciously  persuaded  of  the  Lord 
to  do  so  through  the  instrumentality  of  the  Rev.  Mr.  Harries,  so 
that  that  beloved  deceased  pastor  was  the  honored  instrument  of 
turning  both  of  these  brethren  into  heaven's  way  and  toward  the 
holy  ministry.  In  1881,  having  decided  to  enter  God's  high  calling 
as  His  appointed  ambassador,  he  entered  the  Academy  at  Bridge- 
hampton,  L.  I.,  to  prepare  for  college  under  the  guidance  of  Prof. 
Lewis  Hallock.  In  the  autumn  of  1884  he  entered  Hamilton  Col- 
lege and  was  graduated  with  honors  in  1888.  The  following  summer 
he  studied  Hebrew  at  Chautauqua,  and  in  the  autumn  oi  the  same 
year  he  entered  Union  Theological  Seminary,  New  York  City,  and 
was  graduated  in  May,  1891.  Having  been  licensed  by  the  Presby- 
tery of  Long  Island  in  April,  1890,  he  was  ordained  by  the  same 
Presbytery  a  year  later,  and  was  at  once  dismissed  to  the  Presbytery 
of  Buffalo  to  take  charge  of  Bethlehem  Presbyterian  Chapel  in  that 
city.  In  a  few  months  this  chapel  was  organized  into  a  church,  over 
which  brother  Chester  was  installed  as  pastor,  in  which  relation  he 
continued  until  the  autumn  of  1896,  when,  having  received  a  call  to 
the  Presbyterian  Church  at  Youngstown,  N.  Y.,  which  he  accepted, 
he  removed  to  that  place,  where  he  still  continues.     On  July  14, 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Chureh  1^5 

1891,  he  was  married  to  Miss  Georgia  Grant,  of  Cleveland,  O.,  to 
whom  have  been  born  two  children. 

After  the  teaching  elder  comes  the  ruling  elder  in  the  polity  of 
the  Presbyterian  Church,  and  so  we  come  to  speak  of  those  who 
have  served  this  church  in  that  high  ofTlice  ordained  of  God  in  His 
word.  We  have  already  spoken  at  some  length  of  the  virtues  and 
excellencies  of  our  first  elder.  Gen.  Sylvester  Dering.  We  therefore 
begin  here  with  Mr.  Jonathan  Doughlass,  the  second  elder,  who  was 
ordained  as  such  with  Gen.  Dering  and  Lodowick  Havens  on  the 
27th  of  March,  1812,  the  year  in  which  this  church  was  admitted  into 
the  Presbytery.  Jonathan  Doughlass,  together  with  Gen.  Dering, 
were  at  the  same  time  of  their  ordination  to  the  eldership  appointed 
deacons,  and  these  two  have  been  the  only  deacons  in  the  history  of 
this  church.  In  this  double  capacity  of  elder  and  deacon,  brother 
Jonathan  Doughlass  served  the  church  for  the  long  period  of  twenty- 
eight  years  "with  fidelity  and  greatly  to  the  edification"  of  the  So- 
ciety. "He  ruled  well,"  and  the  church  was  not  regardless  of  the 
divine  injunction.  "Let  the  elders  that  rule  well  be  counted  worthy 
of  double  honor,"  said  the  Rev.  Mr.  Harries.  "He  shared  largely  of 
the  respect,  confidence  and  love  of  the  church  and  congregation." 
He  and  his  wife  were  original  members  of  this  Society.  Mr.  Dough- 
lass was  a  member  of  the  building  committee  that  had  charge  of 
erecting  this  our  sanctuary.  He  was  most  faithful  in  his  office,  as  the 
sessional  records  will  show,  constantly  appointed  by  the  brethren  to 
plead  with  the  erring  and  to  the  discharge  of  special  duties.  He  was 
born  in  Waterford,  Conn.,  and  removed  to  this  island  about  the 
year  1800.  His  worth  was  immediately  recognized  by  the  com- 
munity, being  chosen  to  double  office  in  1800.  He  served  in  public 
office  for  many  years,  chiefly  as  school  commissioner.  Upon  the 
death  of  his  honored  colleague  in  the  eldership.  Gen.  Sylvester  Der- 
ing, he  was  chosen  as  his  successor  in  the  Board  of  Trustees  and 
continued  to  serve  until  1837,  a  term  of  seventeen  years.  His  last 
years  were  spent  in  feebleness.  Unable  to  recline  upon  his  bed  he 
passed  away  serenely  and  sweetly  while  sitting  in  his  chair  on  the 
24th  of  September,  1840,  in  the  seventy-third  year  of  his  age.  He 
was  the  father  of  six  children,  one  of  whom,  named  Charles  G. 
Doughlass,  is  still  living,  at  the  advanced  age  of  eighty-eight  years,  a 
highly  respected  citizen  of  Sag  Harbor,  N.  Y. 

The  third  elder  was  Lodowick  Havens,  chosen  by  the  church  at 
the  same  time  elders  Dering  and  Doughlass  were  chosen.     These 


1^6  Slultcr  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

three  were  ordained  together.  Rev.  Mr.  Harries  has  left  an  ex- 
tended biographical  sketch  of  Mr.  Havens  and  of  a  number  of  his 
successors,  from  which  I  shall  quote  freely.  Speaking  of  our  present 
subject  he  says:  "Mr.  Lodowick  Havens  was  born  on  Shelter  Island 
on  the  17th  of  January,  1774,  two  months  after  the  passage  of  the 
Boston  Port  Bill  by  the  British  Parliament,  and  two  years  and  a  half 
before  the  Declaration  of  Independence.  Like  Timothy,  he  had 
been  favored  with  the  instruction  and  example  of  a  godly  mother 
and  a  remarkably  pious  grandmother,  Mrs.  Mary  (Budd)  Parker. 
The  sacred  truths  they  instilled  into  his  tender  mind,  gently  and 
habitually  as  the  descent  of  nightly  dew,  leavened  his  entire  spiritual 
being  and  exerted  a  plastic  influence  upon  his  whole  life  of  eighty 
years.  At  thirteen  years  of  age  he  prayed  regularly  in  secret,  and 
at  eighteen  obtained,  as  he  then  thought,  a  saving  interest  in  the 
oblation  of  Calvary.  But  after  a  season  adverse  influences  abated 
the  fervor  of  his  love  and  obscured  the  lustre  of  his  hallowed  light. 
In  the  closing  year  of  the  last  century,  when  about  twenty-five  years 
of  age,  he  was  wedded  to  Miss  Mary  Annable.  Soon  after  that  event 
their  attention  was  called  to  the  subject  of  personal  salvation  by  a 
peculiarly  solemn  and  impressive  providence.  As  his  impenitent 
father  lay  in  the  agony  of  remorse  vipon  the  margin  of  the  tomb,  he 
summoned  his  children  around  his  dying  couch  and  warned  them  of 
the  fearful  consequences  of  deferring  a  preparation  for  death  until 
a  dying  hour.  He  besought  them  with  tear-bedimmed  eyes  and  all 
the  tender  yearnings  of  a  fond  parent  not  to  follow  his  example,  but 
to  seek  an  interest,  without  delay,  in  the  Friend  of  Sinners.  His 
spirit  then  took  its  flight  to  its  eternal  destiny,  but  his  warning  failed 
not  of  its  gracious  purpose.  A  younger  son  began  at  once  to  secure 
a  preparation  for  a  life  of  union  and  felicity  with  God.  In  fourteen 
days  after  his  father's  death  that  son  follow'ed  his  steps  through 
the  portals  which  admit  us  to  an  eternal  state.  The  fearful  man- 
ner in  which  the  father  died,  together  with  the  sudden  and  unex- 
pected death  of  the  younger  brother,  were  blessed  by  the  Holy  Spirit 
to  the  quickening  and  saving  of  the  elder.  His  conviction  of  the 
evil  of  sin  and  of  his  own  ill  deserts  was  so  deep  and  overwhelming 
as  to  compel  him  to  deprecate  unceasingly  his  self-righteousness 
and  to  abandon  forever  his  former  hope,  and  at  times  to  discontinue 
his  secular  pursuits.  While  digging  clams  in  West  Neck  Creek  he 
was  so  tortured  with  remorse,  with  a  sense  of  approaching  judgment 
and  of  his  own  eternal  ruin,  that  he  abandoned  his  work.     Prostrate

in  his  boat  he  cried  with  trembling  and  tears  for  mercy.  God 
heard  his  pleas  and  filled  his  soul  with  the  raptures  of  pardon  as  he 
drank  of  the  cup  of  salvation.  He  thus  describes  his  delightful  ex- 
perience in  that  glorious  hour: 

'Oh  what  immortal  joys  I  felt,  and  raptures  all  divine, 
When  Jesus  told  me  I  was  his  and  my  beloved  mine.' 

"This  change  produced  the  ripened  fruits  of  genuine  piety  for 
more  than  half  of  a  century.  During  the  first  eight  years  after  his 
conversion  his  religious  privileges  were  exceedingly  limited,  for 
the  ministrations  of  the  sacred  word  occurred  only  occasionally  on 
the  island.  His  golden  opportunities  were  like  angels'  visits  to 
our  earth,  few  and  far  between;  still  he  held  on  to  the  even  tenor 
of  his  Christian  course.  The  organization  of  this  church  in  1808 
deeply  interested  him.  From  that  period  he  was  favored  with  the 
means  of  grace,  aided  in  their  maintenance,  enjoyed  their  luxviriant 
spiritual  benefits  and  developed  their  golden  fruits  in  a  life  of  un- 
blemished piety  and  Christian  activity.  For  many  years  he  was  as 
metal  in  the  crucible,  and  subjected  to  the  fiercest  fire  of  affliction. 
Thirty  years  before  his  death  he  was  crippled  by  the  incision  of  an 
axe  into  his  right  ankle.  During  the  last  sixteen  years  of  his  pil- 
grimage his  sufferings  were  intense,  so  that  he  was  confined  like  a 
caged  bird  to  his  domicile.  Still  he  aspired  with  almost  impatient 
longings  to  visit  the  Lord's  house.  His  heart  would  devoutly  ex- 
claim, 'Oh,  God,  my  soul  thirsteth  for  Thee,  to  see  Thy  power  and 
Thy  glory  in  Thy  earthly  habitation  so  as  I  have  seen  Thee  in  Thy 
sanctuary  in  days  of  old.'  But  this  priceless  immunity  was  denied 
him  until  his  remains — weighed  down  with  the  infirmities  of  four- 
score years — were  brought  here  to  be  committed  to  'the  house 
appointed  for  all  living.'  He  was  eminently  a  man  of  Christian 
devotion.  It  seemed  as  if  he  made  but  one  prayer  in  his  life,  which 
began  at  the  time  of  his  espousal  to  Jesus  and  ended  as  his  spirit 
winged  its  way  to  nestle  in  His  bosom.  Christ  was  his  only  hope. 
His  presence  was  his  delight.  It  made  his  humble  abode  appear 
as  the  vestibule  to  his  celestial  mansion.  His  death  was  as  peaceful 
as  his  life  was  happy.  He  fell  asleep  in  Jesus  on  the  eleventh  of 
November,  1854.  He  was  a  Town  officer  for  many  years,  serving 
in  various  capacities,  mostly  as  Town  Clerk,  which  position  he  dis- 
charged from  1828  to  1849,  a  period  of  twenty-one  years. 

The  fourth  person  to  be  elevated  to  the  office  of  elder  was  Mr. 
Abraham  Sherril.     He  came  to  this  place  from  Easthampton  and 


I  ig  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

was  received  by  letter  from  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  that  locahty 
on  the  27th  day  of  March,  1814,  just  two  years  after  the  election  of 
our  first  elders.  The  same  day  he  was  received  he  was  chosen  and 
ordained  an  elder  over  this  church,  something  rather  unusual,  and 
implying*  high  esteem  and  great  appreciation  on  the  part  of  the 
church  for  the  new  comer.  Doubtless  his  fidelity  and  usefulness  had 
preceded  him.  His  former  pastor,  the  Rev.  Ebenezer  Philips,  had 
the  great  pleasure  of  ordaining  his  departed  member  as  elder  in  this 
house  of  God.  Mr.  Sherril  was  a  man  of  sterling  qualities,  for  which 
he  was  usually  styled  by  the  people  "a  good  old  man."  He  con- 
tinued as  elder  in  this  church  for  seven  years,  to  the  edification  of  the 
church  and  the  glory  of  his  God,  after  which  he  returned  to  East- 
hampton,  where  he  resided  until  called  to  serve  in  the  upper  and 
more  glorious  sanctuary  where  they  worship  unceasingly  Him  that 
sitteth  on  the  Throne  and  the  Lamb  once  slain. 

Our  fifth  elder  was  Richard  F.  Nicoll,  he  being  elected  on  June 
30,  1816,  and  ordained  at  the  same  time.  It  was  that  memorable 
Sabbath  when  so  many  united  with  the  church  who  were  the  fruits 
of  that  first  and  mighty  revival  of  which  we  have  had  occasion  to 
speak  at  length: 

"When  heaven  came  down  their  souls  to  greet 
And  glory  crowned  the  mercy-seat." 

Rev.  Dr.  Woolworth  and  the  Rev.  Stephen  Tracey  were  in  the 
pulpit,  and  the  sacrament  of  the  Lord  was  the  joyous  feast.  Shortly 
after  his  ordination,  as  has  already  been  stated,  Mr.  Nicoll  began  the 
study  of  theology,  and  in  time  was  ordained  to  the  gospel  ministry. 
As  a  minister  he  served  various  churches.  At  one  time  he  carried 
on  a  private  school  in  the  tenant  house  on  the  Horsford  estate  close 
by  the  creek.  At  the  close  of  his  public  ministry  he  returned  to  this 
island,  his  native  place,  and  there  he  continued  to  live  until  his  death, 
in  1857.  His  earthly  remains  were  deposited  in  the  silent  grave  in 
the  family  plot  a  little  north  of  this  building.  In  1809  he  was  mar- 
ried to  Margaret  S.  Dering,  daughter  of  Gen.  Sylvester  Dering. 
Their  union  was  blessed  with  ten  children. 

The  sixth  elder  w^as  Joihn  C.  Chester.  He  united  with  this  church 
the  same  Sabbath  that  Mr.  Nicoll  was  ordained  to  the  eldership. 
As  a  church  member  he  walked  in  the  fear  of  the  Lord  to  the  great 
commendation  of  the  church,  who,  beholding  his  good  works,  chose 
him  to  rule  over  them  for  four  years  after  his  union  with  them, 
namely,  on  the  6th  of  November,  1820,  being  ordained  at  the  same 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  1^9 

time  by  the  Rev.  John  D.  Gardiner,  of  Sag-  Harbor.  He  greatly 
magnified  his  office.  Though  never  abounding  in  wealth,  it  is  said 
he  was  proverbial  for  his  hospitality  towards  God's  servants,  his 
house  being  called  the  "clergyman's  tavern."  One  of  the  first  mis- 
sionaries to  the  Sandwich  Islands,  a  Mr.  Bingham,  preached  in  this 
church  on  the  Lord's  day  previous  to  the  sailing  of  the  ship  which 
was  to  carry  him  to  his  far-ofif  field  of  labor,  and  while  here  was  en- 
tertained at  Elder  Loper's  house.  He  sailed  from  Sag  Harbor, 
according  to  our  information,  in  the  ship  "Thomas,"  and  reached 
the  Sandwich  Islands  in  a  most  providential  time,  when  the  natives, 
through  the  failure  of  their  gods  to  respond  to  their  cries  for  help 
and  deliverance  in  a  season  of  great  drought  and  physical  suffering, 
threw  their  idols  into  the  sea,  and  having  no  gods,  were  eager  to 
hear  the  glorious  gospel  of  the  only  living  and  true  God.  Mar- 
vellous was  the  power  of  God  upon  them  through  the  preached 
Word.  Between  the  years  1845  ^^^  1S48  the  son  of  Elder  Chester, 
our  brother  in  Christ,  Charles  T.  Chester,  visited  those  islands  sev- 
eral times,  remaining  several  weeks  each  visit.  He  attended  their 
religious  services  and  was  impressed  with  the  solemnity  and  rever- 
ence of  the  worshippers,  no  trifling  being  engaged  in  by  any  of 
the  large  congregations  gathered  to  hear  the  precious  inestimable 
news  of  Jesus  and  His  dying  love  for  sinners.  And  now  those  very 
islands  are  a  part  of  our  own  national  domain  and  those  idolaters, 
transformed  and  in  their  right  minds,  our  fellow  citizens.  One's 
thoughts,  in  view  of  such  things,  find  fitting  expression  in  the  words 
of  Cowper: 

"God  moves  in  a  mysterious  way  his  wonders  to  perform; 
He  plants  his  footsteps  on  the  sea,  and  rides  upon  the  storm. 
Deep  in  unfathomable  mines  of  never-failing  skill. 
He  treasures  up  his  bright  designs  and  works  his  sovereign  will." 
Elder  Chester  was  a  man  rich  in  faith  and  full  of  good  works. 
In  him  there  was  no  guile.     Always  open  in  action,  honest  in  speech, 
frank  in  dealing  and  true  at  heart,  his  life  was  an  epistle  clear  and 
eligible,  so  as  to  be  read  by  all  men.     And  in  return  he  was  esteemed 
and  loved  by  all  who  knew  him,  who  manifested  their  faith  in  him 
by  actions  of  trust  and  confidence.     The  love  of  Christ  constrained 
him  to  all  faithfulness.     Though  in  old  age  and  weary  with  daily  toil, 
his  place  in  the  sanctuary  was  seldom  vacant.     Distance  did  not 
hinder  him  in  his  weekly  attendance  at  the  service  of  prayer  and 
praise.     God's  house  was  his   delight,   and  when  the  church  was 


lAO  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

strained  financially,  he  would  step  forward  to  do  the  humblest  work. 
Literally,  ihe  would  rather  be  a  aoorkeeper  in  the  house  of  our  God 
than  dwell  in  the  tents  of  wickedness.  As  "Jacob  served  seven 
years  for  Rachel,  and  they  seemed  unto  him  but  a  few  days,  for  the 
love  he  had  to  her,"  so  Mr.  John  C.  Chester  served  the  church  forty- 
seven  years  in  the  eldership,  and  it  seemed  to  him  but  a  brief  period 
for  the  love  he  had  to  Zion.  When  fifteen  years  of  age  he  turned 
unto  the  Lord,  and  for  sixty-three  years  he  was  a  worthy  member 
of  this  church.  He  died  July  loth,  1863,  at  the  age  of  seventy-eight 
years.  He  was  a  native  of  Rhode  Island,  from  whence  he  removed 
to  this  place  in  his  boyhood.  He  married  Miss  Nancy  Cartwright. 
and  to  them  were  born  a  number  of  children,  several  of  whom 
still  continue  with  us.  A  son  and  a  grandson,  since  his  departure, 
have  been  called  to  serve  as  elders  in  this  church,  so  that  since  1820 
there  has  been,  without  interruption,  a  Chester  in  the  eldership  of 
this  church. 

The  next  brother  chosen  to  be  ruling  elder  was  Jeremiah  Case. 
He  was  born  in  the  "city,"  on  Shelter  Island.  While  visiting  the 
South  on  business  in  1816,  he  obtained  a  hope  in  Christ.  In  a  short 
time  he  returned  home  and  united  with  this  church.  Some  fifteen 
years  after,  on  the  13th  of  November,  1831,  he  was  appointed  a 
ruling  elder  and  ordained  by  the  Rev.  Jonathan  Huntting.  His 
contemporaries  esteemed  him  as  a  devoted  Christian,  whose  godly 
life  everywhere  exemplified  the  excellency  of  the  gospel  and  com- 
mended it  to  the  world  "as  a  faithful  saying  and  worthy  of  all  ac- 
ceptation." Though  invested  with  the  authority  of  a  ruler  in  the 
church,  he  did  not  "lord  it  over  God's  heritage,"  but  magnified  his 
ofifice  by  the  exhibition  of  a  meek  and  quiet  spirit,  which  is  in  the 
sight  of  God  of  "great  price."  He  was  "clothed  with  humility." 
Modesty  was  his  daily  habitude  and  meekness  beautified,  like  a 
polished  gem  in  a  coronet,  his  whole  life.  But  though  free  from  a 
self-asserting,  vaunting,  demonstrative  nature,  he  was  not  a  weak, 
negative  character,  nor  easily  turned  from  the  line  of  Christian  duty. 
Though  conciliating,  he  was  neither  vacillating  nor  pusillanimous  in 
the  maintenance  of  his  own  opinions.  Though  ready  to  yield  to  the 
better  reason,  he  was  firmly  wedded  to  his  own  convictions,  when 
justified  by  such  reason.  While  gentle  as  a  lamb  and  amiable  as 
the  exile  of  Patmos,  he  was  still  an  earnest,  laborious,  self-sacrificing 
Christian,  and  a  prudent,  efficient  officer  in  the  church  of  God. 
When  well  stricken  in  years  and  weighed  down  with  infirmities,  he 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  141 

moved  to  Greenport  to  reside  with  his  daughter.  There  he  remained 
until  released  from  the  ills  of  mortal  life.  The  Master  called  him. 
Happy  death!  He  went  home  to  the  banquet  of  love  and  the  rest 
prepared  for  the  people  of  God.  He  lived  long,  for  he  lived  well, 
and  his  deathbed  was  a  field  of  conquest,  for  on  such  a  battleground 
death  itself  dies. 

On  the  3d  of  December,  1843,  the  church  made  choice  of  its 
eighth  and  ninth  elders  in  the  persons  of  Caleb  S.  Loper  and  Horace 
B.  Manwaring.  They  were  "at  the  same  time  solemnly  ordained,  ac- 
cording to  the  Directory  by  the  Rev.  Jonathan  Huntting."  These  two 
brethren  were  true  yoke-fellows  in  the  work  of  the  Lord's  'house, 
continuing  in  this  happy  relation  until  death  called  the  former,  in 
i860,  to  his  heavenly  home.  Elder  Loper  was  a  native  of  Noyac, 
in  the  Town  of  Southampton,  where  he  was  born  December  2d,  1802. 
At  the  age  of  eleven  years  his  parents  moved  to  this  island.  He 
experienced  the  joys  of  sins  forgiven  in  the  great  revival  under  the 
Rev.  Jonathan  Huntting  in  1831.  Two  years  after  he  removed  to 
Greenport  to  engage  in  business,  and  when  the  Presbyterian  Church 
was  organized  in  that  place,  Feb.  7th,  1833,  transferred  his  member- 
ship to  it,  being  one  of  its  original  members.  Here  he  remained  but 
two  years,  when  his  business  being  destroyed  by  fire,  he  again 
moved  to  this  island,  at  the  same  time  transferring  ihis  membership 
to  this  his  mother  church.  And  here  he  continued  to  live  until  his 
death,  on  the  3d  of  October,  i860,  in  the  fifty-eighth  year  of  his  age. 
Altogether  he  was  a  member  of  this  church  for  twenty-seven  years, 
and  an  elder  for  seventeen  years.  He  possessed  a  strong,  active 
mind,  great  decision  of  purpose,  a  large  capacity  for  business,  and  an 
almost  intuitive  perception  of  character.  He  had  only  to  look  at 
another  to  reach  a  just  conclusion  respecting  bis  moral  worth. 
When  he  took  a  position  in  regard  to  any  subject,  however  unpop- 
ular it  migiht  be,  he  was  ready  to  avow  and  vindicate  it.  When  the 
temperance  enterprise  was  in  its  infancy,  despised  and  sneered  at, 
and  not  a  few  were  predicting  that  it  would  die  in  its  cradle,  and  that 
its  swaddling  clothes  would  be  its  winding-sheet,  ihe  rallied  under  its 
banner,  and  was  the  first  on  the  island,  hiring  farm  labor,  who 
pledged  not  to  furnish  spirituous  liquors  to  his  workmen.  This  was 
a  hazardous  step,  as  but  few  persons  would  work  on  such  terms,  yet 
'he  adhered  to  the  right  regardless  of  consequences.  He  was  too 
ingenuous  and  transparent  to  be  ever  guilty  of  duplicity,  low  cun- 
ning or  double  dealing.     He  filled  the  office  of  Justice  of  the  Peace 


JA.2  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

with  wisdom,  impartiality  and  equity,  and  was  as  just  to  an  enemy 
as  to  a  friend.     Society  very  generally  respected  him  for  his  ability, 
integrity,  piety  and  usefulness.   He  was  emphatically  "a  devout  man, 
and  one  who  feared  God."  This  church  ought  ever  to  hold  his  name 
in  grateful  remembrance,  for  he  toiled,  watched,  wept,  prayed  and 
sacrificed  no  little  to  promote  its  welfare.     He  "ruled  well"  in  God's 
house,  and  is  therefore  "worthy  of  double  horuDr."   His  death  was  an 
unmeasured  loss  to  this  Society,  but  to  him  it  was  like  the  freeing  of 
a  bird  from  its  cage.     His  spirit,  released  from  its  prison  >house, 
hasted  away  to  revel  in  the  bliss  of  endless  life,  w'here  "the  smile 
of  the  Lord  is  the  feast  of  t)he  sioul."    He  passed  from  mortal  sight 
"As  sets  the  sun  at  eve,  to  rise  in  splendor  where 
His  kindred  luminaries  shine,  their  heaven  of  bliss  to  share; 
Beyond  the  battlefield,  he  reigns  and  triumphs  now, 
Sweeping  a  iharp  of  wondrous  song  with  glory  on  his  brow." 
Caleb  S.  Loper  was  a  Town  officer  almost  continuously  from 
1824  to  the  day  of  his  death,  in    i860,  serving  in  various  positions, 
from  the  lowest  to  the  highest,  being  chosen  five  times  as  Supervisor. 
He  was  also  for  a  number  of  years  a  Trustee  of  this  church.     In  1826 
he  was  married  to  Hepsibah  P.  Douglass,  daughter  of  Elder  Jona- 
than Douglass,  by  whom  he  had  four  children,  one  of  whom  was 
chosen  as  an  Elder  and  in  time  became  as  distinguished  for  piety  and 
usefulness  as  his  father,  in  this  church  and  community. 

The  ninth  eldfer,  Horace  B.  Manwaring,  was  born  in  East  Lyme, 
Conn.,  March  6th,  1805.  When  nineteen  years  old  he  made  a  public 
profession  of  faith  in  Christ  and  united  with  the  Baptist  Church  in 
his  native  place.  Nine  years  later,  namely,  about  1834,  he  removed 
to  this  island.  Here  he  stayed  until  about  1838,  when  he  moved  to 
Gull  Island,  there  to  become  the  lighthouse  keeper.  This  position 
he  discharged  for  four  years,  at  the  expiration  of  which  he  once 
more  took  up  his  residence  on  this  island,  and  continued  here  until 
his  death.  In  1842  he  united  with  this  church  upon  profession  of 
faith  in  Christ.  His  views  concerning  baptism  hindered  him  not  in 
fellowshiping  with  those  who  differed  with  him  regarding  that  ordi- 
nance. He  loved  the  fellowship  of  those  who  honored  God  and 
enjoyed  the  communion  of  the  Lord's  Table  with  them.  In  less 
than  a  year  after  his  uniting  with  this  church  'he  was  chosen  elder, 
and  in  this  office  served  the  church  with  zeal  and  wisdom  for  twenty- 
three  years,  or  until  his  death,  on  the  19th  of  February,  1866,  in  the 
sixtieth  year  of  his  age.  He  was  noted  for  his  good  sense  and 
extraordinary  prudence.

As  a  neighbor  die  was  peaceful  and  accommodating.  His  friend- 
ship was  warm  and  abiding,  his  integrity  universally  recognized, 
and  his  sincere  piety  undoubted.  He  was  not  subject  to  changes  in 
his  devout  habits,  but  was  "always  engaged  in  religion."  Judgment 
and  prudence  distinguished  his  administration,  wliile  his  power  in 
prayer  and  remarkable  gift  in  exhortation  made  him  unusually  rich 
and  edifying  in  his  devotional  exercises.  His  life  was  a  testimony 
and  his  death  a  demonstration  of  the  excellency  of  our  holy  religion. 
He  approached  life's  closing  hour  calmly, 

"Like  one  who  wraps  the  drapery  of  his  couch  about  him 
And  lies  down  to  pleasant  dreams." 

So  serenely  he  closed  his  eyes  on  this  fading,  fleeting  world  to 
feast  his  clarified  vision  on  the  ever-enduring  glories  of  heaven. 

Mr.  Manwaring  was  the  son  of  Adam  Manwaring  and  Tem- 
perance Dennison.  He  was  twice  married,  his  second  wife  being 
Nancy  A.  Havens,  daughter  of  Elder  Lodowick  Havens.  H-e  pos- 
sessed a  wonderful  gift  of  language,  which  he  exercised  to  the  great 
delight  and  profit  of  those  who  heard  him  testify  of  the  goodness 
of  God  and  supplicate  the  throne  of  grace.  For  many  years  he  served 
the  Town  as  one  of  its  officers  in  various  capacities,  among  them  as 
Town  Clerk  from  1854  to  1857.  Upon  his  death,  in  1866,  the  whole 
community  was  overshadowed  by  sorrow  in  losing  such  a  noble  soul 
in  the  very  midst  of  his  powers,  he  being  but  sixty  years  old. 

The  tenth  person  chosen  as  elder  was  Charles  T.  Chester,  elected 
the  25th  of  January,  1856,  and  ordained  by  the  Rev.  Daniel  M.  Lord. 
Mr.  Chester  was  the  son  of  Elder  Jo'hn  C.  Chester,  and  was  born  on 
Shelter  Island.  He  united  with  the  church  July  i,  1849.  ^^^  iSg2  he 
was,  at  his  own  request,  dismissed  to  the  brethren.  Being  still  a 
resident  of  this  island  we  forbear  speaking  of  his  services  and  useful- 
ness to  the  church  at  this  time.  He  is  the  honored  father  of  one  of 
our  present  efficient  elders  and  of  the  Rev.  Nelson  B.  Chester  al- 
ready referred  to. 

The  eleventh  elder  was  Marcellus  D.  Loper,  chosen  and  ordained 
at  the  same  time  with  Elder  Charles  T.  Chester.  Mr.  Loper  was 
the  son  of  Caleb  S.  Loper  and  grandson  of  Jonathan  Douglass,  both 
of  whom  had  served  so  conspicuously  in  the  eldership  before  him. 
He  was  born  ]May  i,  1827,  and  united  with  the  church  January  i6th, 
1848.  He  continued  his  membership  until  his  death,  December 
nth,  1895.  As  elder  he  served  for  nearly  forty  years.  During  all 
these  years  he  was  noted  for  his  great  love  and  zeal  for  Zion.  He 
constantly  had  upon  his  heart  the  welfare  of  the  church,  and  was  a 


lAA  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

most  devout  Christian.  There  was  not  a  position  of  trust  and  honor 
in  the  gift  of  this  church  to  which  he  was  not  called.  Of  him  it  can 
be  said  that  he  fulfilled  the  exhortation  of  Christ  to  "Let  your  light 
so  shine  before  men  that  they  may  see  your  good  works  and  glorify 
your  Father  which  is  in  heaven."  Being  of  such  a  pronounced 
Christian  character  the  community  gladly  chose  him,  like  the  dhurch, 
to  almost  every  position  of  trust  within  its  power,  from  the  lowest  to 
the  highest.  At  the  time  of  his  death  he  was  the  Clerk  of  the  Town, 
and  in  the  church  an  Elder,  Clerk  of  the  Session,  Trustee  and  Li- 
brarian of  the  Sabbath  School.  One  can  readily  see  from  these  how 
useful  a  citizen  and  member  of  the  church  he  was.  Well  does  the 
author  of  these  papers  remember  the  two  visits  he  made  upon  Mr. 
Loper  while  supplying  the  pulpit  of  this  church  in  the  month  of  No- 
vember, 1895.  Mr.  Loper  was  at  the  time  seriously  ill  with  the 
illness  that  resulted  in  his  death.  In  these  brief  visits  he  impressed 
me  as  sweetly  resigned  to  God's  will;  firm  in  his  faith,  having  the 
triumph  over  death  that  comes  by  faith  in  the  Son  of  God.  The 
second  visit  was  on  the  Monday  after  the  Sunday  on  which  the 
church  extended  the  call  to  the  author  to  become  their  pastor.  Not 
being  present  at  that  meeting,  he  assured  me  personally  of  his  'hearty 
acquiescence  in  it,  at  the  same  time  expressing  the  hope  of  its  ac- 
ceptance. The  day  after  my  arrival  at  home  I  received  a  letter  from 
him,  written  after  my  leaving  him,  in  which  'he  again  urged  upon  me 
the  acceptance  of  the  call,  and  explaining  that  the  reason  why  he 
wrote  was  that  he  felt  he  had  not  been  urgent  enough  at  the  time  of 
my  visit.  These  things  are  stated  here  simply  to  show  the  good, 
earnest  character  of  the  man  who,  though  dangerously  ill  and  near 
his  death,  lest  'he  should  not  have  been  urgent  enough  pens  his  mes- 
sage to  make  sure  of  it.  That  letter  is  sweetly  treasured,  for  the 
hand  that  penned  it  was  soon  struck  with  death,  and  the  first  service 
devolving  upon  the  pastor  elect  the  day  after  his  arrival  to  take  up 
his  residence  and  work  upon  this  island  was  the  funeral  service  of 
this  faithful  soul.  And  in  his  going  another  soul  was  fixed  in  its 
eternal  state  among  the  multitude  that  have  gone  up  to  glory  and  the 
Father's  house  from  this  community  and  church.  How  large  a 
company  has  already  gathered  on  that  Shining  Shore.  As  a  testi- 
monial to  his  worth  the  following  is  a  part  of  what  was  entered  upon 
the  sessional  records: 

"Whereas,  Our  Heavenly  Father  has  taken  from  among  us  in 
the  person  of  Marcellus  D.  Loper  one  whom  we  had  learned  to  love 
and  respect,  whose  counsel  we  sought  and  whose  commendation  we 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  145 

prized,  the  session  feels  called  upon  at  this  time  to  recognize  the 
faithfulness  with  which  he  served  the  church  and  to  pay  a  tribute  to 
his  memory.     Therefore  be  it 

"Resolved,  That  in  the  removal  of  our  Senior  Elder,  M.  D.  Loper, 
from  the  scenes  of  his  earthly  activity  our  church  has  lost  a  most 
faithful  servant,  the  cause  of  Christ  a  valiant  champion  and  the  com- 
munity at  large  a  valuable  citizen. 

"For  forty  years  he  has  stood  in  the  front  ranks  of  our  church 
workers,  his  whole  life  bound  up  in  the  welfare  of  the  church  militant. 
a  firm  defender  of  'the  faith  once  delivered  to  the  saints.'  Tlirough 
this  devotion  to  the  cause  of  Christ  we  feel  it  can  be  said  of  him  as  of 
one  of  old,  'He  being  dead  yet  speaketh.'  " 

In  1858  Elder  Loper  was  married  to  Mary  S.  Horton,  who  sur- 
vives him.  They  were  blessed  with  three  sons,  all  of  whom  grew  to 
manhood  and  are  still  living. 

Archibald  R.  Havens  was  the  twelfth  person  selected  as  Elder, 
being  chosen  April  23,  1865,  and  ordained  by  the  Rev.  Mr.  Harries 
on  the  following  nth  of  June.  Mr.  Havens  was  born  on  this  island 
Oct.  9th,  18 r6,  to  Obadiah  and  Nancy  (Robinson)  Havens.  On  May 
20th,  1849,  '^G  united  with  the  church,  and  continued  as  a  member 
until  his  death,  Nov.  20th,  1894,  a  period  of  forty-five  years.  Con- 
cerning him  it  is  the  universal  testimony  of  those  who  knew  'him  that 
you  cannot  say  too  much  about  his  noble  Christian  character.  He 
was  a  model  among  men,  always  looked  up  to  and  highly  esteemed, 
implicitly  trusted,  a  saint  on  earth.  One  who  ever  had  a  word  for 
Jesus.  Carr)'ing  on  a  country  store,  he  would  follow  his  customers 
to  the  door  to  drop  a  word  concerning  the  Savior  and  His  dying 
love  for  men.  He  was  indeed  a  remarkable  man.  Faithful  in  at- 
tendance upon  the  state  means  of  grace  of  the  sanctuary  and  ever 
ready  to  testify  for  Jesus.  He  cherisihed  the  words  and  oft  repeated 
them  that  "They  that  feared  the  Lord  spake  often  one  to  another; 
and  the  Lord  hearkened  and  heard  it,  and  a  book  of  remembrance 
was  written  before  Him  for  them  that  feared  the  Lord  and  that 
thought  on  His  name.  And  they  shall  be  mine,  saith  the  Lord  of 
Hosts,  in  that  day  when  1  make  up  my  jewels,  and  I  will  spare  them 
as  a  man  spareth  his  own  son  that  serveth  him."  He  was  constantly 
encouraging  others  into  the  Kingdom,  and  was  instrumental  in 
cheering  at  least  one  soul  on  to  the  Savior  who  is  now  an  honored 
Elder  of  this  church.  How  many  such  jewels  are  set  in  his  im- 
mortal crown  we  cannot  at  present  tell,  but  shall  know  some  day,

"When  the  mists  have  rolled  in  splendor  from  the  beauty  of  the  hills, 
And  the  sunlight  falls  in  gladness  on  the  river  and  the  rills, 
And  we  come  with  joy  and  gladness  up  to  the  great  white  throne, 
Face  to  face  with  those  that  love  us,  then  we'll  know  as  we  are  known." 

Though  full  of  cares  at  times  yet  never  a  word  of  discouragement 
did  he  utter.  He  dvv'elt  upon  the  innumerable  promises  of  the  Mosl 
High.  They  were  to  him  as  a  sweet  morsel  rolled  under  the  tongue. 
Like  one  of  old,  he  esteemed  the  Word  of  God  more  than  his  neces- 
sary food.  And  as  he  lay  upon  his  bed  in  his  last  illness  in  a  state  of 
coma  those  that  sat  beside  him  heard  him  repeating  those  everlasting 
and  abiding  promises  upon  which  his  soul  was  fixed.  They  were 
his  comfort  in  the  death  valley.  His  parting  words,  repeated  a 
number  of  times,  were  'T'm  going  home,  I'm  going  home,"  and  his 
spirit  left  its  earthly  tabernacle  to  occupy  the  "building  of  God,  an 
house  not  made  with  hands,  eternal  in  the  heavens." 

Mr.  Havens  was  postmaster  of  Shelter  Island  for  nearly  fifty 
years,  one  of  the  longest  terms  of  ofifice  on  record  in  the  Postal  De- 
partment of  these  United  States.  In  1839  ^^  married  Miss  Caroline 
A.  Hughes,  by  whom  he  had  six  children. 

Our  thirteenth  elder,  chosen  and  ordained  with  Elder  Havens  in 
1865,  was  Horace  G.  Manwaring,  the  son  of  Elder  Horace  B.  and 
Nancy  (Havens)  Manwaring,  born  on  Nov.  21,  1838,  and  died  Sept. 
18,  1883.  He  continued  as  an  elder  of  this  church  about  three  years, 
when  he  moved  to  Westfield,  Mass.  During  his  short  term  as  Elder 
of  this  church  he  served  with  great  credit,  being  a  young  man  of 
good  parts  and  ability.  It  was  therefore  with  sorrow  and  reluctance 
that  the  church  parted  with  this  young  servant  when  Providence 
removed  him  to  another  place.  He  died  at  the  early  age  of  forty-five 
years. 

On  Dec.  7,  1872,  the  church  elected  its  fourteenth,  fifteenth  end 
sixteenth  elders  in  the  persons  of  Benjamin  C.  Cartwright,  Timothy 
P.  Congdon  and  Smith  Baldwin.  These  three  were  ordained  on 
Jan.  12,  1873,  by  the  Rev.  Mr.  Harries,  who  devoted  the  entire 
service  that  Sabbath  morning  to  the  consideration  of  the  office  of 
elder  and  its  duties.  The  first  of  the  three  above  mentioned  brethren 
was  the  last  to  leave  this  earth,  the  order  of  their  departure  being  just 
the  reverse  of  their  selection.  Benjamin  C.  Cartwright,  our  four- 
teenth elder,  was  a  native  of  Shelter  Island,  born  May  13th,  181 5,  of 
George  and  Lucretia  (Conkling)  Cartwright.  He  passed  triumph- 
antly away  on  Dec.  nth,  1896,  in  his  eighty-second  year.  For  more 
than  fifty  years  he  was  a  conspicuous  member  of  this  church.     All 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  147 

who  knew  him  honored  him.  In  early  Hfe  he  followed  the  sea,  mak- 
ing a  number  of  voyages  in  a  whaler.  In  this  profession  he  early  at- 
tained a  position  of  responsibility,  becoming  commander  of  the  ship. 
Here  his  life  was  conspicuous  for  at  least  one  thing,  namely,  he 
never  resorted  to  the  use  of  oaths  or  profane  language  of  any  kind, 
so  general  a  custom  among  seamen.  His  mouth  was  clean;  no 
corrupt  communication  proceeded  from  between  his  lips.  After  re- 
tiring from  the  pursuit  of  the  whale  he  established  himself  in  business 
of  various  kinds  in  turn  on  this  island.  Soon  his  services  were 
called  upon  in  town  afifairs  and  'he  was  chosen  to  public  office. 

And  nearly  to  the  time  of  his  death  did  he  continue  in  office, 
serving  the  town  in  almost  every  capacity,  among  them  as  Super- 
visor, for  thirteen  years.  He  was  a  man  who  stood  firm  for  his 
principles,  never  compromising  with  evil  but  always  true  to  his  God. 
He  could  no  more  be  turned  by  bribery  or  intimidation  from  what  he 
esteemed  to  be  right  than  you  could  turn  the  sun  from  out  its  course. 
He  illustrated  in  all  its  truth  the  saying,  now  a  maxim,  "An  honest 
man  is  the  noblest  work  of  God."  Would  that  all  the  men  of  our 
community  were  of  his  noble,  faithful  spirit!  Never  did  his  pastor 
want  for  an  attentive,  inspiring  listener  so  long  as  he  remained  with 
the  churdh  militant.  One  had  but  to  turn  his  eye  in  his  direction 
when  it  would  be  cheered  by  his  encouraging  countenance.  And 
the  warm  grasp  of  the  hand  at  the  close  of  the  service  was  a  silent 
"God  bless  you,  my  pastor,"  that  cannot  easily  be  forgotten.  That 
hand  was  constantly  extended  in  doing  good.  He  was  the  poor 
man's  friend.  His  generous  soul  led  ihim  to  sacrifice  himself  for  the 
welfare  of  others.  "He  went  about  doing  good,"  and  when  he  came 
to  leave  this  earth  God  took  care  that  this  devoted  servant  should 
have  one  of  the  sweetest  departures  ever  granted  to  mortal  man.  It 
was  the  nearest  approach  to  Enoch's  translation  that  has  ever  come 
under  our  notice.  "He  walked  with  God,  and  was  not  for  God  took 
him."  Conscious  almost  to  the  very  last  moment,  speaking  with  the 
loved  ones  around  his  dying  bed,  telling  his  children  of  the  happy 
meeting  with  mother  who  had  gone  on  some  eight  years  before,  and 
in  all  confidence  of  his  being  brought  into  the  desired  haven,  his 
final  words  were  "Safe  into  port."  Then  he  closed  his  eyes  in  that 
sleep  which  knows  no  waking  here  but  which  is  the  sweetest  of  all 
sleeps,  a  repose  upon  the  breast  of  Jesus,  and  devout  men  carried 
him  to  his  burial  as  they  carried  Stephen,  and  made  great  lamenta- 
tions over  him  because  "a  prince  and  a  great  man  had  fallen  in  Israel." 


148  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

« 

As  a  tribute  to  his  memory  the  following  resolutions  were 
spread  upon  the  sessional  minutes: 

"Whereas,  It  has  pleased  our  Heavenly  Father  to  take  from 
among  us,  in  the  person  of  Elder  Benjamin  C.  Cartwright,  a  brother 
in  the  Lord,  whose  fidelity  through  an  unusually  long  term  of  service 
entitled  him  to  be  considered  by  his  fellow  men  as  holding  a  first 
place  among  those  who  love  our  Lord  and  strove  to  do  His  will. 
Therefore  be  it 

"Resolved,  That  by  the  removal  of  Elder  Cartwright  from  the 
scenes  of  ihis  earthly  labors  the  Presbyterian  Church  of  Shelter 
Island  loses  an  honorable  member,  a  faithful  servant  and  an  efficient 
officer,  one  deeply  interested  in  all  that  concerned  the  church,  both  in 
spiritual  and  temporal  lines,  well  fitted  for  service  in  the  former  by 
his  simple  faith,  his  hopeful  courage  and  his  charitable  judgment  of 
others ;  and  for  the  latter  by  his  natural  ability,  the  experience  gained 
in  a  long  business  career  and  the  open-handed  liberality  with  which 
he  responded  to  all  appeals  made  for  the  needs  of  the  churdh. 

"Resolved,  That  we  extend  our  sympathy  to  the  bereaved  family 
of  our  departed  brother  with  the  assurance  that  we  share  their  sor- 
row in  the  loss  of  a  beloved  father  and  a  faithful  and  wise  counsellor, 
consoled,  however,  by  the  knowledge  that  while  we  miss  his  familiar 
form  from  among  us  his  life  remains  among  us  and  that  we  can 
apply  to  him  that  most  glorious  testimony  received  from  heaven, 
'Blessed  are  the  dead  that  die  in  the  Lord  from  henceforth.  Yea, 
saith  the  Spirit,  that  they  may  rest  from  their  labors  and  their  works 
do  follow  them.'  " 

Brother  Cartwright  was  married  in  1838  to  Hannah  Maria 
Tuthill,  and  unto  them  were  born  ten  children.  Two  of  his  sons  were 
in  time  chosen  by  the  churoh  as  elders.  He  was  most  happy  in  his 
domestic  relations,  surrounded  as  he  was  by  a  large  family  of  chil- 
dren, grandchildren  and  great  grandchildren,  all  devotedly  attached 
to  this  dear  old  servant  of  God,  this  grand  old  man. 

"Servant  of  God,  well  done!  Soldier  of  Christ,  well  done! 

Rest  from  thy  loved  employ;  Praise  be  thy  new  employ; 

The  battle  fought,  the  victory  won,  And  while  eternal  ages  run, 

Enter  thy  Master's  joy!  Rest  in  thy  Saviour's  joy!" 

Mr.  Timothy  P.  Congdon  was  the  fifteenth  elder  chosen  by  this 
church.  Early  in  life  he  surrendered  himself  into  the  hands  of  the 
Savior  with  the  purpose  to  be  his  as  long  as  Hfe  should  last,  and  this 
vow  he  kept  religiously  until  his  death  Jan.  6th,  1888.    At  the  age

of  seventeen  he  unitotl  with  this  cluirch.  lie  was  a  nieniber  of  the 
church  for  nearly  fifty-five  years  and  an  elder  for  fifteen  years. 
At  one  time  in  life  he  had  the  ministry  in  view,  and  to  that  end  en- 
tered Amherst  College.  He  was,  however,  providentially  turnetl 
from  this  purpose,  and  passed  his  life  on  this  island  cultivating  the 
farm  inherited  from  his  father.  He  was  a  man  who  possessed 
natural  gifts  of  unusual  power,  among  them  a  fine  voice,  which 
he  knew  how  to  use  with  great  efTect  in  oratory.  Being  of  an 
emotional  temperament,  there  were  times  when  his  soul  would 
mount,  as  it  were,  into  the  third  heaven,  and  the  strain  would  become 
so  great  that  he  would  have  to  desist  from  attending  services  in  sea- 
sons of  revival,  so  strongly  did  they  appeal  to  him.  Having  a  large 
home,  he  freely  opened  and  offered  it  for  prayer  meetings  and  other 
religious  services.  He  v»-as  constant  in  his  attendance  upon  the 
sanctuary,  and  ready  with  his  services  when  called  upon.  His 
testimonies  and  his  prayers  were  listened  to  and  united  in  with  de- 
light and  profit.  He  taught  the  Word  of  God  to  the  young  and 
served  as  superintendent  of  the  Sabbath  school.  He  was  a  man 
well  versed  in  scripture  and  could  use  it  w-ith  great  efifectiveness. 

Mr.  Congdon  was  born  at  South  Kingston,  R.  I.,  on  May  20, 
1815,  of  Joseph  and  Elizabeth  (Peckhani)  Congdon.  At  the  age  of 
eleven  years  he  removed  with  his  parents  to  this  island.  Here  he 
married  Miss  Amanda  A.  Bennet,  daughter  of  Lew'is  L.  and  Asenath 
(Wright)  Bennet,  a  very  earnest  Christian  woman,  on  the  291)1  of 
October,  1843.  To  them  were  born  seven  children,  several  of  whom 
are  our  most  worthy  members  at  the  present  time. 

The  sixteenth  elder  was  ]\Ir.  Smith  Baldwin.  He  united  with 
the  church  in  July,  1856,  and  died  on  June  22,,  1884,  at  tlie  age 
of  sixty-eight  years.  In  early  life  he  sailed  the  seas,  and  in  time 
became  a  sea  captain  in  the  whaling  industry.  In  one  of  his 
voyages,  while  touching  at  the  island  of  St.  Helena,  his  wife  gave 
birth  to  their  first  child,  a  daughter,  who  was  named  Ella  Carroll 
Baldwin,  after  the  daughter  of  the  Governor  of  the  island.  Re- 
tiring from  a  seaman's  life,  he  carried  on  for  a  number  of  years  the 
milling  business  in  the  old  Dutch  mill.  Upon  his  conversion  in  the 
great  revival  of  1856  he  became  a  most  devout  follower  of  Christ. 
In  speaking  of  him  recently  with  one  who  knew  him  well  it  was  said, 
"You  can  say  everything  that  is  good  of  this  man  and  yet  not  say 
too  much."  He  was  a  most  conscientious  man,  and  rather  than 
come  short  in  any  duty  would  perform  that  duty  twice.  Kind,  noble- 
hearted  and  generous  to  a  fault.  Often  would  he  be  found  in  his  mill

on  his  knees  praying  to  God  for  himself,  his  loved  ones,  his  neigh- 
bors; yea,  everybody,  mentioning  one  after  another  in  prayer  before 
the  throne  of  grace.  He  was  a  man  of  humble  and  devout  spirit, 
untiring  in  his  services  for  the  glory  of  his  Risen  ]\Iaster.  So  deeply 
conscious  of  the  awfulness  of  sin  and  the  absolute  need  of  a  Savior, 
of  man's  lost  condition  outside  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  that  at 
times  he  would  wonder  whether  he  had  a  standing  in  Christ.  His 
was  more  the  negative  than  the  positive  disposition.  While  his 
saintly  wife  was  just  the  opposite,  so  that  the  two  together  formed 
a  most  perfect  couple.  One  day  a  stranger  was  being  conveyed 
across  this  island,  and  as  he  was  riding  along  he  said  to  his  con- 
veyor: "Does  Smith  Baldwin  still  live  on  tliis  island?"  Being  told 
that  he  did,  he  said:  "I  wish  you  would  take  me  to  wiiere  he  lives 
if  it  isn't  too  much  out  of  your  way,  and  I  will  pay  you  extra  for  it,  as 
1  want  to  see  that  man  because  I  have  learned  to  respect  and  greatly 
esteem  him.  Early  in  life  I  sailed  the  seas  with  him,  and  it  w-as  while 
in  the  midst  of  an  awful  storm  that  I  learned  to  regard  him  so 
highly.  Things  looked  black  aboard  ship  at  that  time.  All  hands 
felt  fearful,  but  Smith  Baldwin  stood  calm,  self-possessed  and  confi- 
dent, and  I  could  not  help  but  admire  him  as  he  gave  his  orders  to 
the  men,  all  of  which  were  readily  obeyed,  and  if  ever  I  learned  to 
respect  a  man  it  was  Smith  Baldwin."  It  is  needless  to  say  that  he 
was  carried  to  his  friend's  house,  and  the  exchange  of  greetings 
was  so  warm  and  hearty  that  the  time  seemed  very  short  ere  the 
evening  was  upon  them.  May  the  stranger  and  his  honored  captain 
renew  their  friendly  greetings  in  the  better  land. 

The  following  minute  w^as  entered  upon  the  records  the  day  of 
Brother  Baldwin's  death:  "Our  esteemed  brother.  Smith  Baldwin, 
having  been  removed  by  death  on  the  morning  of  this  day,  we  enter 
the  following  minute,  namely: 

"With  humble  submission  to  the  dispensation  of  God's  holy 
providence,  the  session  records  the  death  of  one  of  its  members, 
Smith  Baldwin,  who  departed  this  life  on  Monday,  the  23d  day  of 
June,  1884,  in  the  sixty-ninth  year  of  his  age." 

Mr.  Baldwin  was  born  in  1816  at  Babylon,  Long  Island.  His 
parents  were  John  and  Phebe  Smith  Baldwin.  On  June  7,  1847,  ^^ 
married  Miss  Maria  Cartwright,  daughter  of  Anderson  and  Cynthia 
(Payne)  Cartwright,  a  most  devoted  servant  of  Christ.  To  them 
were  born  several  children,  only  one  of  whom,  a  son,  Edgar  P..  lived 
to  grow  to  manhood. 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  i  z^  i 

What  a  remarkable  body  of  men  has  God  given  unto  this  church 
as  elders.  How  nobly  have  they  served  and  wihat  glory  have  they 
brought  to  this  high  office  in  the  church  of  God.  Besides  these  six- 
teen brethren  the  church  lias  chosen  the  following  also  as  elders, 
namely :  Winfield  S.  Cartwright,  Byron  Griffing,  J.  Edward  Chester, 
Arthur  S.  Cartwright,  E.  Havens  Payne  and  Scudder  Smith,  mak- 
ing twenty-two  in  all.  These  are  all  still  living  and  rendering  most 
efficient  service.  Of  these  the  first,  Winfield  S.  Cartwright,  having 
removed  from  the  island,  has  ceased  to  exercise  his  office  in  this 
church.  He  is,  however,  still  an  active  elder,  serving  as  such  in  the 
Presbyterian  Church  of  Islip,  where  he  now  resides.  He  was  elected 
on  June  5,  1881,  and  ordained  by  the  Rev.  Mr.  Harries  the  following 
Sunday,  June  12,  1881. 

The  three  following  Mr.  Cartwright,  namely,  Mr.  Byron  Griffing, 
]\Ir.  John  Edward  Chester  and  Mr.  Arthur  S.  Cartwright,  were 
elected  elders  on  Nov.  8,  1891.  At  the  same  time  the  church  adopted 
the  rotary  system  of  eldership  in  the  place  of  the  life  eldership,  which 
had  prevailed  up  to  this  time,  but  now  having  adopted  the  rotary, 
or  term  system,  these  brethren  were  elected  for  three  years,  two 
years  and  one  year  respectively.  Two  weeks  later  they  were  sol- 
emnly ordained  to  their  office  by  the  Rev.  B.  F.  Parliman,  and  they 
have  continued  in  active  service  until  the  present  time,  being  re- 
elected whenever  their  term  has  expired.  On  Nov.  2,  1896,  the  re- 
maining two  brethren,  E.  Havens  Payne  and  Scudder  Smith,  were 
chosen  as  the  successors  of  Archibald  R.  Havens  and  Marcellus  D. 
Loper,  deceased.  One  month  later  they  were  ordained  by  the  present 
pastor.  Propriety  seems  to  forbid  any  extended  remarks  concerning 
these  brethren  at  this  time.  But  the  writer  wishes  at  least  to  state 
that  as  a  body  of  advisers  and  helpers  they  have  been  most  faithful, 
considerate  and  brotherly.  In  all  his  relations  with  them  he  has  re- 
ceived nothing  but  kindness  and  encouragement.  I'he  spirit  of  unity 
and  of  love  has  been  the  spirit  of  them  all,  making  the  relations  of  the 
pastor  with  them  nothing  but  of  the  pleasantest  kind.  They  have  my 
highest  regards.  I  esteem  them  for  their  work's  sake  and  am  ready 
to  declare  that  thus  far  they  have  been  loyal  and  earnest  co-laborers 
with  me  in  the  solemn  responsibility  of  the  oversight  of  this  flock  of 
God,  forming  a  body  of  elders  of  which  the  church  may  be  justly 
proud.  May  God  spare  them  for  many  years  unto  this  church,  and 
may  they  by  His  grace  more  and  more  magnify  their  office,  as  we 
feel  this  to  be  their  heart's  desire.     And  w^hen  their  course  is  run 


I  c  2  Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 

may  the  portals  of  heaven  swing  open  wide  for  the  incoming,  and 
may  the  King  greet  them  with  the  words  of  highest  praise,  "Well 
done,  thou  good  and  faithful  servant,  enter  into  the  joys  of  thy  Lord." 

"How  beautiful  it  is  for  man  to  die  upon  the  walls  of  Zion!  to  be  called, 
Like  a  watch-worn  and  weary  sentinel,  to  put  his  armor  oflf  and  rest 
— in  heaven." 

And  here  a  tribute  is  due  to  the  men  who  have  had  the  care  of  the 
material  things  of  this  church;  in  other  words,  to  the  Board  of 
Trustees,  organized  in  1785,  and  in  continuous  existence  until  the 
present  time,  a  period  of  more  than  a  hundred  and  thirteen  years. 
The  various  members  of  this  body  who  have  served  in  all  these  years 
are  tabulated  elsewhere.  The  existence  of  this  board  antedates  the 
organization  of  the  church  by  twenty-three  years.  The  congrega- 
tion for  which  they  acted  at  first,  however,  properly  dates  its  ex- 
istence from  the  building  of  the  first  meeting  house  in  1743,  a  hun- 
dred and  fifty-five  years  ago.  We  'have  spoken  of  a  number  of 
these  men  to  their  deserved  praise.  And  in  that  praise  the  present 
members  of  the  board  can  justly  be  included  for  their  wise,  judi- 
cious and  faithfvil  service  in  looking  after  the  material  things  of 
this  religious  corporation.  The  present  excellent  condition  of  the 
church's  property,  the  freedom  from  debt  and  the  safe  investment 
of  funds  now  in  their  hands  proclaim  their  efficiency  most  effectively. 

There  are  still  others  who  have  been  of  great  service  to  this 
Society  whose  names  have  not  yet  been  mentioned.  As  we  have 
already  said,  some  names  must  be  omitted.  We  cannot  enumerate 
all  those  who  have  been  conspicuous  in  this  church  for  holy  living, 
extended  usefulness  and  Godlike  character. 

One  of  them,  however,  must  be  here  enshrined,  because  he  has 
left  behind  him  a  name  that  is  like  precious  ointment  poured  forth. 
I  refer  to  Martin  L.  Prince,  one  of  nature's  noblemen,  a  whole-souled 
follower  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ.  A  man  whose  consecration  was 
a  living  sacrifice  acceptable  unto  God.  Who  literally  gave  himself 
for  the  good  of  this  community,  neither  sparing  effort  or  money  to 
bring  about  the  largest  results  in  matters  and  movements  that  ele- 
vated' and  refined.  He  was  the  most  useful  man  in  the  whole  com- 
munity. A  leading  spirit  in  temperance  reform  and  in  the  cultivation 
of  music,  raising  them  both  to  such  a  high  stage  of  effectiveness  and 
efficiency  as  to  make  Shelter  Island  famous  abroad  in  both  of  these 
departments  of  laudable  and  praiseworthy  effort.    How  sweetly  is  his 


Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church  i  c  - 

name  cherished  by  the  older  portion  of  this  community,  in  his  day 
a  notable  trio  lived  on  this  island  in  the  persons  of  the  Rev.  Daniel  M. 
Lord,  Archibald  R.  Havens  and  himself,  Martin  L.  Prince.  These 
were  so  conspicuous,  each  in  his  department,  that  it  led  one  eminent 
man  to  remark  that  the  Shelter  Island  community  ought  to  be  a 
very  happy  people  with  a  "Lord"  for  a  ])asl()r,  a  "Prince"  living 
among  them  and  a  "Haven"  on  dry  land. 

All  hail  to  the  name  of  Martin  L.  I'rince!  And  as  regards  the 
women  of  this  church,  as  much  could  be  said  to  their  praise  as  has 
been  recited  of  the  other  sex  in  these  papers.  Some  have  already- 
been  alluded  to.  Along  with  those  already  mentioned  we  enroll  the 
names  of  Mrs.  Thomas  Bering,  Mrs.  Mary  Parker,  Mrs.  Esther 
Case,  three  spiritually  minded  women  who  used  to  unite  their  pray- 
ers under  the  sliadow  of  a  liaystack  before  ever  a  churcli  was  or- 
ganized on  this  island.  Other  women  since  then  have  carried  the 
light  of  God  aloft,  as  Mrs.  Lucretia  Cartwright,  a  remarkably  de- 
voted woman:  Mrs.  Smith  Baldwin,  as  remarkable  an  example  of 
filial  affection  and  untiring  service  to  both  higii  and  low,  rich  and 
poor,  knowing  no  creed  or  caste  in  her  self-denying  lab(jrs.  Among 
the  younger  women  there  shines  out  the  name  of  Mrs.  Esther  (Tut- 
hill)  Loper  with  those  already  mentioned. 

But  we  must  forbear,  though  many  appeals  come  to  us  from 
Sunday-school  and  Young  People's  societies,  from  temperance  or- 
ganizations and  missionary  bodies,  pleading  for  a  place  and  a  re- 
'hearsal.  Concerning  each  one  of  which  a  noble  record  could  be 
given.  Perhaps  another  hand  w'ill  pen  their  immortal  deeds.  As 
the  conclusion  to  this  historical  review.  T  am  more  than  pleased  to 
be  able  to  give  the  following  poem  written  by  Elder  Ryron  Grififing 
for  the  rededicatory  services  in  1897,  and  entitled  "Hallowed 
Echoes,"  since  it  so  beautifully  refers  to  these  varied  persons  and 
departments  of  work  connected  in  the  past  with  this  honored  churcli 
of  God. 


As  stronger  hands  have  from  the  past  For  as  o'er  altar,  aisle  and  pew 

The  curtain  drawn  aside,  This  sunset  glory  lays, 

And  on  their  efforts  borne  us  back  Streaming  across  the  wrecks  of  time 

O'er  time's  unchanging  tide.  From  light  of  "former  days," 

'T would  seem  that  angel  fingers  swept  We  catch  these  harmonies  long  hushed 

Harps  long  in  silence  lain,  That  once  this  temple  filled. 

And  woke  from  out  the  vanished  years  And  throbbing  hearts  again  respond 

Their  sleeping  chords  again.  To  hearts  forever  stilled.

Shelter  Island  and  Its  Presbyterian  Church 


How  vast  yet  varied  are  the  tones 

These  hallowed  echoes  bring, 
What  gracious  messages  they  bear, 

What  countless  changes  ring! 
They  plead  from  o'er  the  sacred  desk, 

From  off  this  altar  call, 
And  from  yon  lonely  gallery 

In  tuneful  cadence  fall. 


They  break  from  hillsides  rough  and  steep 

Where  sturdy  pilgrims  trod, 
Who  came  with  grateful  heart  and  voice 

To  give  this  house  to  God. 
Not  "  that  which  cost  them  naught  "  was 
then 

Upon  God's  altar  laid, 
But  that  for  which  they  long  had  sought 

And  labored  for  and  prayed. 

7- 
They  tell  of  burdens  bravely  borne, 

Of  tears  in  secret  wept. 
Of  pleadings  none  but  God  and  heaven 

Hath  in  remembrance  kept. 
They  tell  of  hallowed  moments  spent 

Around  some  mercy  seat, 
Where  with  the  Master  kindred  souls 

Have  held  communion  sweet. 


They  rise  from 'midst  those  lonely  woods 

And  stacks  of  new-mown  hay. 
Where  saintly  women  years  ago 

Gathered  to  praise  and  pray. 
They  peal  from  out  the  tempest  blast 

That  forest  monarchs  felled, 
Whose  hearts  of  oak   for  fourscore  years 

This  temple  hath  upheld. 

6. 
They  steal  from  hidden,  thorny  paths 

That  weary  feet  have  pressed, 
Where  patient  souls  with  steadfast  faith 

Waited  the  promised  rest. 
They  bear  the  sweet,  submissive  song 

Of  spirits  sorely  tried, 
Who  'mid  life's  darkest  hours  could  sing 

There's  "  light  at  eventide." 

8. 
They  sound  from  yonder  library's  walls, 

Ring  with  past  Christmas  cheer. 
And  o'er  Mount  Auburn  fondly  breathe 

A  sweet  memorial  here. 
They  drop  from  those  mosaic  panes 

Whispering  the  name  they  bear. 
And  fall  on  grateful  hearts  to  stamp 

Its  deeper  impress  there. 


They  tell  of  one  whose  life  and  work 

Were  love  and  tenderness, 
Whose  tireless  feet  were  swift  to  seek. 

Whose  hands  as  swift  to  bless. 
Who  knew  no  station,  age  nor  sex. 

No  color,  race  nor  creed; 
Her  ministries,  like  those  divine. 

Encircled  all  in  need. 

II. 

For  what  were  all  these  conflicts  waged. 

These  holy  triumphs  won. 
These  trials  patiently  endured, 

These  deeds  of  kindness  done  ? 
Methinks  an  hallowed  echo  doth 

Yon  chapel's  silence  break, 
And  in  a  pastor's  thrilling  tones 

Answers,  "For  Jesus'  sake." 


They  tell  us  how  with  faltering  steps 

An  aged  saint  had  come, 
Content  that  at  God's  holy  feast 

His  soul  should  find  a  crumb. 
Nor  thought  that  from  his  morsel  shared 

With  those  in  greater  need 
A    fragment,    though   long  years  should 
fall. 

Our  hungry  souls  to  feed. 

12. 

O!  temple  of  the  living  God, 

In  thy  new  beauty  dressed. 
May  he  who  hath  enriched  thy  past 

Be  still  thy  constant  guest; 
And  when  the  present's  sunset  glow 

Is  o'er  the  future  cast. 
Still  may  as  hallowed  echoes  fall 

As  ring  from  out  thy  past!

Note. — The  Compiler  of  these  tables  will  esteem  it  a  great  kindness  on  the  part 
of  those  who,  discovering  an  error,  or  able  to  supply  what  may  be  lacking  in  them,  will 
kindly  inform  him  of  it  or  send  the  same  to  his  address.  He  would  also  suggest  writing 
upon  the  margin  the  additions  and  corrections  which  have  come  to  hand,  opposite  the 
sections  to  which  they  belong. 


KEY  TO  THE  FOLLOWING  TABLES, 

Taking  as  an  Example  the  Record  on  the  Opposite  Page. 


THE  TABLES  ARE  DIVIDED   INTO  SECTIONS,  EACH  SECTION  REPRESENT- 
ING A  FAMILY  AND  FOLLOWING  EACH  OTHER 
IN  NUMERICAL  ORDER. 


The  numeral  "i"  in  all  cases  is  assigned  to  the  family  of  the  person  whose  name 
heads  the  table.  Thus  the  numeral  "i"  on  the  opposite  page  will  be  seen  to  stand  at 
the  top  of  the  family  record  of  John  Havens.  The  letters  of  the  alphabet  act  in  the 
same  capacity,  only  that  they  are  assigned  to  the  families  through  whom  the  person's 
ancestry  is  to  be  traced,  which  is  given  in  each  table  so  far  as  the  compiler  has  been 
able  to  trace  it  in  this  country.  Thus  Mr.  John  Havens'  ancestors  are  here  given 
under  the  letters  "A"  and  "B"  back  to  the  first  Havens  who  came  to  America,  and 
who  in  this  case  was  his  grandfather,  namely,  William  Havens.  The  line  through 
which  Mr.  John  Havens  descended  from  William  Havens  is  indicated  by  the  letter  "B" 
which  will  be  seen  to  stand  before  the  son  George  of  the  first  William  Havens.  This 
letter,  like  the  numerals  that  appear  in  the  subsequent  family  records,  intimate  that  the 
person  before  whose  name  the  letter  or  number  stands,  not  only  married,  but  had  a 
family,  and  that  the  record  of  that  family  can  be  found  under  that  letter  or  number  in 
the  table  of  which  it  is  a  part.  Thus  under  the  letter  "B"  is  to  be  found  the  family 
record  of  George  Havens,  who  in  this  case  was  the  father  of  Mr.  John  Havens.  In  the 
record  of  George  Havens  it  will  be  seen  that  the  numeral  "i"  precedes  the  name  of 
John,  which  refers  the  reader  for  the  record  of  his  family  to  the  record  that  appears 
under  that  number,  and  so  on  through  the  table.  By  this  arrangement  the  ancestors 
and  descendants  of  any  person  whose  name  appears  in  any  of  the  following  tables,  save 
of  the  parents  of  those  who  have  married  into  the  family,  can  be  easily  traced.  In 
some  of  the  sections,  as  for  instance  in  section  No.  16,  page  I85,  it  will  be  noticed  that 
the  names  of  both  of  the  parents  are  set  in  small  capitals.  This  is  to  indicate  that  the 
marriage  between  those  persons  was  a  consanguineous  one,  that  is,  between  blood  rela- 
tions, they  having  descended  from  the  same  ancestor. 

Abbreviations. — b.,  born;  bap.,  baptised;  m.,  married;  da.,  daughter;  ch.  or  child,  child  or

BOWDITCH. 

Savage'  s  Genealogical  Dictionary  says  a  John  Bowditch  of  Boston,  married  in  1682,  Temperance 
French,  a  daughter  of  John  French,  the  first  of  Braintree.  She  died  Aug.  12,  1720.  A  Willinm  Bow- 
ditch  resided  in  Salem,  in  1639.  This  William  is  thought  to  have  come  from  Devonshire,  England,  as 
the  name  Bowditch  is  frequently  found  there.  In  1643,  this  William  received  a  grant  of  land.  His 
wife's  given  name  was  Sarah,  by  whom  he  had  a  son,  Nathaniel,  who  was  baptized  Feb.  12,  1643. 
Another  son,  named  William,  born  perhaps  in  England,  was  the  only  son  his  father  left.  This  son, 
William,  was  a  custom  officer  under  the  Colonial  administration.  He  died  suddenly  in  1681,  leaving 
an  only  son,  also  named  William,  born  in  1663.  This  third  William  became  eminent  at  Salem,  for  his 
usefulness.  In  1688,  he  married  Mary  Gardner,  daughter  of  Thomas  Gardner,  and  died  May  28,  1728. 
He  had  seven  children,  one  of  whom  named  Ebenezer,  born  April  26,  1703,  married  Aug.  15,  1728, 
Mary  Turner,  daughter  of  the  Hon.  John  Turner,  and  died  Feb.  2,  1768.  He  alone,  of  the  seven 
children,  left  male  issue  ;  one  of  his  sons,  named  Habakkuk,  being  the  father  of  Nathaniel  Bowditch, 
the  very  celebrated  astronomer  and  translator  of  La  Place.
